I decided to stop buying candy, only to sit in sadness with no kids to give it to...and went to watch the game with my boyfriend instead We got home at around 4:45p and there were kids up and down my street for the first time in 3yrs...and I had NO CANDY.
A ladybug came up to my door and I panicked to my boyfriend, "Omg..they just stopped at the end of the driveway..oh shit they're actually coming..! Fuck..honey?! What do I do?!" Like they were little zombies.
I opened the door..I had to tell her..
"I'm so so sorry sweetie, but I didn't buy candy this year because nobody ever stops by. I'm promise next year, if you come back I'll have ALL the candy and ALL the snacks. Ok?"
Her mom said, "Oh that's ok! We just thought we'd stop since your Christmas lights are up!"
I explained that yes, while the lights ARE acting as my porchlight because ours is broken.. it's actually just a beacon for DoorDash.
She thoroughly understood, but I was mortified (and a little drunk).
I closed the door and almost burst into tears. I am literally the worst. Next year, these kids are getting full bars, juice boxes, and all the snacks.
