You've seen it all around Whyville - people putting Halloween face parts on their person, chat bubbles asking for the password into the Halloween party, and generally people getting into the Halloween spirit. That got me thinking - is all this Halloween excitement just another part of being on Whyville, or is it also part of your real life?
I'm almost 13, and my mom is a little skeptical about whether I'm "too old" for trick-or-treating or not. Personally, I LOVE dressing up in some costume and walking around in the dark, but it also made me wonder if other Whyvillians were also "too old" for trick-or-treating. So I asked a few people around Whyville for their opinions on Halloween.
First I ran into crazy3794 in Whyville Square.
dubblplay: How old are you?
crazy3794: I'm thirteen.
dubblplay: Are you planning on going trick-or-treating?
crazy3794: I'm not sure.
dubblplay: Do you feel that you're too old for trick-or-treating, or are you still in the Halloween spirit?
crazy3794: I'm still in the spirit, but I don't know.
dubblplay: Are any of your friends going trick-or-treating?
crazy3794: A few of them are.
dubblplay: Well, thanks for your time!
crazy3794: No problem.
Next, I met 0lollipop in the Newbie Lounge:
dubblplay: How old are you?
0lollipop: I'm fourteen.
dubblplay: What's your favorite part about Halloween?
0lollipop: Hanging out with friends, parties, and dressing up.
dubblplay: I agree. Are you planning on going trick-or-treating?
0lollipop: Totally. I love going with my whole family.
dubblplay: Do you feel too old for trick-or-treating, or are you still in the Halloween spirit?
0lollipop: I'm still totally in the spirit. It doesn't really matter about age, as long as you have fun safely.
dubblplay: Yeah, I agree! Are any of your friends going trick-or-treating?
0lollipop: Yes, totally! We just have to find the perfect costume.
dubblplay: Awesome. Have fun and thanks for your time!
0lollipop: No problem.
Finally, I y-mailed my friend sweetMN.
dubblplay: How old are you?
sweetMN: 12.
dubblplay: What's your favorite part about Halloween?
sweetMN: I'd have to say dressing up for the occasion. :)
dubblplay: I agree! Are you planning on going trick-or-treating this year?
sweetMN: I don't think I will. I'll probably just stay home and hand out candy to the people that come.
dubblplay: Really? Is there a reason why you're not going?
sweetMN: My parents just don't want to take me this year I guess.
dubblplay: Okay. Do you feel like you're too old for Halloween, or are you still in the spirit?
sweetMN: I'm in the spirit!
dubblplay: That's great to hear! =) Are any of your friends going trick-or-treating?
sweetMN: I don't think they are.
dubblplay: Okay. Thank you for your time!
sweetMN: You're welcome. :)
So, as you can see, Whyvillians have different plans as to whether they're going to go trick-or-treating, but they share a common theme: You're never too old for Halloween spirit.
