Little kids at a Halloween party
St. Louis kids have two main objectives every October 31: find which houses are handing out full-size candy bars, and make the neighbors laugh. Although we can’t help with the former task, we have compiled a list of family-friendly jokes that can assist you and your children with the latter.
