A Little Angst

In preparation for the upcoming shift in America, I am considering using Halloween as an opportunity to prepare the kids for the times ahead.

Brayden is very ambitious when it comes to candy. I can see him when he is older mapping out the best route to maximize the hits that evening. He eventually might utilize a skateboard to again reach greatness in his candy collecting. Now, Hailey enjoys chocolate but would rather stay home and watch Charlie Brown on Halloween and hand out candy with me.

I wonder how Brayden will take it when I inform him that if he collects more than 25 pieces of candy, I am taking away a portion of it and giving it to Hailey and the other kids on the street who preferred Charlie Brown. I wonder if that drive will still be there......or if he will return with 24 pieces.

No Brayden, I can't do it! You have one last Halloween to go get that candy and keep it for yourself. Run! Run! Run Brayden run, from house to house as fast as you can!

He is a very generous boy and will share his candy. Unfortunately, I think that will stop when it is taken from him.
