Dear Fonseca
Halloween turned into a disaster last night at my house. I refused to give out candy to kids that weren't in costume, kids that didn't say thank you and kids that didn't say Trick or Treat. Parents started coming to my home saying I left their children in tears and ruined the holiday. I don't think I did. I'm just tired of entitled children. I don't think I did anything wrong. My neighbors certainly do. What side of the fence are you on?
