Bernard O'Shea: Halloween is going to be me getting tricked by my kids

I’ve devised a cunning plan to curb my kids corn syrup intake for Halloween 2022

At home last week, my mother laughed: “I remember when you were small, you said to me, ‘Why do we have to have Halloween at all’.” I was indeed terrified of ghosts and goblins. I was so bad that I didn’t sleep properly for years after seeing the witch in The Wizard of Oz. (Which, by the way, is still terrifying.)

I was frightened basically of everything. The only reason I would go on the puca was to get my hands on some sweet sugar.
