Do you make kids say "Trick or Treat"

[bsmcneil]

This makes me think of the generational divide where some folks dislike it when people respond to "thank you" with "no problem". It often feels like some people feel owed (a phrase, a look, a hug, etc). Why withhold candy over it? I don't think it teaches the wrong lesson (nor do I think that a 2-3 second interaction like this teaches them to say the magic password in life).

That said, I did ask my kid (I stayed about 10 feet back) if they said T-o-T and/or Thank you and I insisted on the TY (and encouraged the ToT)
