In the '80s and '90s, kids were raised with the understanding that they got what they got, and they should say, "Thank you," for what they received. This was true for birthdays, holidays, and trick-or-treating on Halloween, even if they got candy they wanted to throw away the instant they turned the corner.

But kids today are much more communicative about what they like and don't like, and they can be brutal in their bluntness.

TikToker @rootednjoyy was put in check on Halloween night this year when a young girl appeared at her door in a witch's costume and hat, a large and puffy winter coat, and a black cauldron doubling as a trick-or-treat basket.

The TikToker asked her to wait for a moment while she grabbed a small bowl she had in her home, filled with Tootsie Rolls, and with the backup plan of "fruit chews."

She grabbed a whole handful of the Tootsie Rolls and put them in the bucket, and the girl's face portrayed shock and astonishment.

Before stepping away, the girl asked:

"Can I ask you a question? Why did y'all get Tootsie Rolls?"

The TikToker immediately started laughing and said:

"Let me tell you something, it was not my idea. It was not my idea!"
"I mean, they still good. They a staple!"

The girl turned to leave and said:

"Have a nice day."

We're definitely in an era of honesty and bluntness, so getting real feedback about our candy options from trick-or-treaters is likely in our future. Fortunately, there are lots of options out there to choose from, and we can always change it up!

Entertainment journalist and Glamour magazine Senior West Coast Editor Jessica Radloff's new book, Young Sheldon: The (Juicier-Than-Meemaw’s-Brisket) Inside Story of the Hit Comedy, shared a story about actor Emily Osment joining the show in its fifth season that's drawing praise for her consideration for her fellow child star, Montana Jordan.

Osment, who began acting at age five, is one of a rare breed in Hollywood—a child star turned successful adult actor. It's a journey many kids have infamously stumbled on, but that Jordan has also successfully navigated perhaps in part thanks to Osment.

Texas GOP's Bizarre Text Warning Voters About 'Weirdo Furry Socialists' Sparks Mockery

A Texas political action committee sparked online mockery after multiple people independently told the San Antonio Current they received a text message urging Texans to vote Republican to keep so-called "furry Socialists" from choosing their leaders.

The message was sent Saturday alongside a photo purportedly showing a man wearing a fox-tail accessory as he left a polling location in Collin County. The message identified its sender as Texans for Common Sense, a political action committee funded entirely by Texans United for a Conservative Majority PAC, a far-right organization backed by West Texas oil billionaire Tim Dunn.
