When the kids knock:
Hello. Then the teachable moment begins. I am going to take some of your candy and give it to the next kids that may be less fortunate and have less candy but want some more. I will not give the more unhealthy candies to the children suffering with obesity.
President Bush made you kids too fat and we need to get on track.
Quote:
After all of the treats have been collected at the end of the night, children will be required to bring their candy to central collection locations in their communities. There, government contractors — most likely ACORN workers who need work between elections — will collect the candy from the children and record their information. Then they will count all of the candy up and divide it equally amongst all of the children in the area. The treats will then be redistributed to everybody, including those who stayed home that night"
Your children will think it’s unfair that they did all the work but don’t get to reap the full rewards of their efforts. After you finish wiping their tears, you can use the occasion as a teachable moment and tell your children what they just experienced is an example of how socialism works. Then they’ll understand.
