On Monday, I went to a Memorial Day parade with Katie and her family (her mother, I think correctly, asserts that Memorial Day is the best parade--brief, candy, not too hot--rather than the fourth of July). Katie and I were bemoaning the fact that we didn't have young nieces and nephews to gather candy because people usually throw to the little 'uns. We didn't really want to make spectacles of ourselves, but consider--it's free candy! However, we were spared the dilemma because of the various boy/girl scout troops who did throw us the goods.
One of the little boys gleefully singing, "Get your candy from the candy man" gave us some suckers. My favorite, though, is the cub scout (five or six year old cutie) who, looking directly at us, reaching into his bag, said, "Here, you guys can share" and threw us a single Tootsie roll.
