In response, sympathetic young viewers mailed to the TV stations donations of some of their own Halloween candy addressed to Charlie Brown. That's was so sweet. :)

That always bothered me as a kid, too. Unless, of course, they were getting
him back for Mischief Night, when Charlie Brown left something of Snoopy's
on their front porch in a flaming paper bag....

I'm not crying, you fool, I'm laughing!

He lives in a neighborhood full of jackasses. And of course, Lucy is the world's most prominent bitch.

Sometimes I wonder if I should be so bothered about a little girl being called a bitch, no matter how much of a jerk she might've been. Sign of the times, I guess.

Not sure about you guys, but my daughter is only 5 & in Kindergarten...I think "b!tchiness" starts early cause there are some REAL girls in her class that fit that derogatory description! Its unbelievable! My son of 8 NEVER had to endure what my daughter has...the girls in her class are CONSTANTLY trying to one up each other.. "I have THIS which is better then YOURS!", and "THAT dress you have is UGLY" and "If you don't do this for me I'm NOT inviting you to my Birthday party" are things that have come out of these girls' mouths!

As for Charlie & the rocks...what kind of people keep rocks in the house to GIVE to children on Halloween night?...and its not like they can tell it was Charlie under that multi-hole ghost sheet!...I think its true that of ALL the Charlie Browns in the world, he's the CHARLIE BROWNEST!

Herald7, That's funny you referred to the "pack" because I had not yet read your post when I wrote mine above. It's true, the boys are loyal to the pack and the girls form a pack against each other. Well, some do...

jorgito, You are so right. My four-year-old took gymnastics about a year. As he got to age four the boys stopped and it was all girls who were very competitive. Some got really bitchy. One mom even said about her own daughter and others that they were really "bossy." I guess that was her way of apologizing to me for her daughter's behavior towards my son. They were like a pack, a gang. It was crazy since they were only about four years old!

Oh, and I definitely heard the "you can't come to my birthday party" from one of the girls in the glass towards others.

As for Charlie & the rocks...what kind of people keep rocks in the house to GIVE to children on Halloween night?

It's funny you mention this, because I saw this at a very young age, and in our house, my dad had this old coffee can that he filled with rocks. It was to use as a door stop, but I didn't know, so I initially thought they were there to give to trick-or-treaters. What other reason is there to keep rocks in the house? ;-)

Even after all these years, the whole gag never ceases to crack me up. It just doesn't get old or tired out.

No lucy is definitely a bitch.

It's been said that your personality for life is pretty much established by age 5. So it may seem politically incorrect on one hand to call a child a bitch, yet completely accurate on another.

But I also think the whole running joke behind the Peanuts series is that they throw in behavior and comments totally incongruous to being a kid. (Think Lucy in "A Charlie Brown Christmas" throwing out the names of all the different phobias, or saying that Christmas is run by a big eastern syndicate.) If they are given grown up traits, it is probably OK to assume bitchiness is acceptable here.

Poor Charlie Brown. He can't even get candy while trick or treating on Halloween. But he perseveres just the same and that's exactly why he's such an endearing character.

the funny thing is, he probably got some sweets at the halloween party, so he obviously faired better than Linus and Sally!

When Charlie Brown grew up, he joined the Diplomatic Corps. The day came when the various members were given envelopes with assignments to different countries. The others were opening theirs and joyfully exclaiming, "I got Tahiti!" "I got France!" "I got Japan!" "I got the Bahamas!" and the like. Charlie Brown opened his and sighed, "I got Iraq!"

Yeah, use the trick part of "Trick or Treat". Probably end up in jail, but he wouldn't worry. He'd just hire Snoopy, the world's greatest lawyer to get him out.
