A Disturbing Trend

There's a song called "Kids" from the musical Bye-Bye Birdie. It asks, "What's the matter with kids today?"

The answer is "parents". It's bad enough that children can get amped up on candy after Halloween. (When parents don't regulate the amount the children may eat.) Now I see in the sale papers from stores that toys are now a "buy this for your children" item for Halloween. It's bad enough I see Christmas decorations in the stores already. We don't need another "buy me" holiday.

The simple answer to this new problem is not to become a sucker for the advertising and teach responsibility and moderation to your children. The easy answer is to blame the big corporations for not looking out for them.
