You're never too old to trick-or-treat. Mary Spaeth, 91, is proof of that. The Zion, Illinois, resident just went out trick-or-treating for the first time this year. We're so glad she did.
You're never too old to trick-or-treat. Mary Spaeth, 91, is proof of that. The Zion, Illinois, resident just went out trick-or-treating for the first time this year. We're so glad she did.
Spaeth's daughter, Christine, says this was her mother's first time experiencing the age-old kids' holiday. It's unclear how she went this long without trick-or-treating, but the change of heart was a great decision.
Buzzfeed reports that Baba brought candy for the kids she met, while adults were treated with wine and pizza. We decree this act alone should be a new tradition on Halloween.
Society norms say adults shouldn't go trick-or-treating, but we're making an exception in Baba's case. Everyone should get the chance to ring a doorbell and get free candy at least once, no matter what age.
Who wants to be the person who tells Mary, "No, you're too old to trick-or-treat"? Good luck with your heart of stone, guy.
Mary, also known as "Baba," dressed as a bunny and wore bunny ears as she went door-to-door with the help of a walker. Let's hope the younger kids gave her some space on the porch. We would have given her a pass if she decided she didn't want to dress up, though.
This has been a bona-fide feel-good story and we're just happy to bring it to you.
