Tot tot-ing teens

Tot--- too old to-- Trick or treat?

The Chicago Trib had an article this week that my mom un-subtly put on the kitchen table where I was doing my homework (thanks, Mom.). It discussed when you are too old to "go door to door, begging for candy." First off, begging is a little harsh. It's more of asking, in an obnoxious manner and tone. 
I love trick or treating, mostly because I love candy. But when my friends and I went this year, we didn't act as most people expect "hooligan teenagers" to act--if there wasn't enough candy for everyone, we skipped that house. And we never took more than what they said.  We stuck to the parameters of the times set up by the Wilmette Park District.  So if we weren't the bad kids, why can't we trick or treat? At what age is this not okay? We talked in class about the developing brain-- is this something too "immature"-- asking for free candy? Seems pretty smart to me- very little risk involved, awesome costumes... So I say why not. Why don't we go trick or treatin
