Son is 15 and a high school freshman. He is also 6'5". He has always loved Halloween, both the candy part and the costume part. I remember last year as he worked on his costume (he has a penchant for choosing costumes from video games, graphic novels or other sources that the average person would never catch on to), he lamented that it would probably be his last year for trick-or-treating. Even if he wasn't technically too old, he reasoned, he would look too old because of his height.
This year he never questioned that he is too old. Even when my wife told him it would be okay, that other high schoolers in the neighborhood would trick-or-treat and that people in the neighborhood know him so they wouldn't think it odd to see him or be mislead by his height, he said "Nope. I'm too old."
I hope I can at least get him to hand out candy tonight.
