I don’t know who’s more p*ssed, my wife that this plan backfired so horrifically, or his older brothers that they never thought to do this. my son has almost twice as much candy as he would have from just keeping his trick-or-treating. And I did swear, and we put a lot of emphasis on the importance of keeping your word. I started to tell him to put it back, but he said, “What? You said I could buy whatever I wanted! You swore! I want my candy back then.” His candy had already been eaten by my co-workers. There’s my son, who has raided the clearance aisle and found 200 Kit Kats for $10. Then we went to Walmart after school and the kids ran to pick out their stuff. Getting all the sugar out of his room was a best-case scenario easiest $31.75 I’d spent all week. I was shocked, but he’d been saving up for a skateboard for a bit so must’ve decided to go all in to push his savings over the edge. He said, “So then it’s my money and I can buy whatever I want with it? A new skateboard even? Anything?” “You bet.” “Swear?” “Yep.” Our third child is 8 this year so called us out on the Santa thing. They’d give up about 3/4 of their candy and buy a toy. Did this with our oldest two and it worked great.
When the kids get old enough to realize Santa is a hoax, that’s when we start paying in cash: 25 cents per piece. When they’re young we tell them Santa brings every boy and girl a present on Halloween, and the more candy you leave him, the better a present he’d leave in exchange. We live in a great candy neighborhood, so every year they come home with 100-200 pieces.
