My sister is 23 and still dresses up and goes out knocking doors for candy... and I find it weird but I let her do her. It got me thinking, at what age do you think someone should stop Trick r Treating at? Just curious.

If it makes her happy, why do you care? I assume that most people do "childish" things despite their age because it makes them happy.

She can do her, and I am happy for her. I'm just curious what other people's opinions are is all?

[-] mypasswordis1234@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago

Honestly? I wouldn't care about age. Just tell her not to destroy other people's property by doing the "trick".

Fair enough really. She is right in that she isn't out getting drunk or anything like that.

All the thirty five year olds giving her candy probably think it's funny

I've watched from their driveway and they usually have a look of debate on their faces as to if they want to give her candy or not. They usually just give her a piece though.

Most older people don't want to be left with a bunch of candy at the end of the night. If they didn't want to give it to her, they wouldn't.
