I'll give PennyLou a helping hand.
"Halloween just isn't what it used to be. When I was a little kid, the streets were filled with kids.
Today, before it got dark, there were more kids out then last year, but still not that many. Maybe seven groups of kids came to the door. Then, after dark, when my friends and I went out, no one was out. It's terrible.
I miss the good old Halloween. One year it was pouring, but my friends and I went out anyway! That year, one of my friends spent the month of November out of school because he got sick from being out in the rain.
There were no really bad pranks around here either. Some toilet paper in trees, but that's about it."
