A Re-Distributionist Halloween

Kids these days.

Our adult children are healthy, happy, and married, but our grandkids are sadly proving to be a disappointment in this 24/7 media age.

Every generation has a tough job to raise responsible & productive kids with good thinking skills, but it just goes to prove that common sense and hard work aren't hereditary.

Your efforts can be undermined.

Our 4,6 & 8 y.o. grandkids stubbornly refused to enjoin the Halloween fun this year!

"Why?", I plaintedly asked.

The eight y.o. old was the tiny gangs' spokesman, and he proudly announced their intricate plot. "We hope to change this mundane ritual of investing time & effort for rewards. We expect the other kids to collect the goodies, and demand they give a fair share to us!"

All the adults straightened up from this half-pint pow-wow; briefly glanced at one another, then angrily shouted, "OBAMA!!!!"
