Halloween Be Safe

Dear Alexander,

(Q) What do you like best about Halloween?

 

(A) That’s easy! I love spending time with my friends.

I also love the adventure of going trick-or-treating. It’s perfect: You get together with your group of friends, plan your strategy, and then head out into the neighborhood, looking for goodies!

Of course, I have to be careful. Anything with peanuts will give me a reaction! So I take candy but leave it wrapped in my bag. If anyone offers me unwrapped food, I tell them “No, thanks, I have a peanut allergy.” When I get home, my parents and I sort out the safe candies and give the rest to my friends.

Good luck!

Your friend,

Alexander the Elephant
