Tsk. Tsk. I have been watching the local news, and they have a warning out tonight for parents. It seems that in the last few years, some wacko has been lacing candy at Halloween with Feno…feno…well, shoot, some type of opioid. Not many treats are being laced, just enough for a health crisis. Currently, the authorities do not have any leads to go on.

It is a shame. Innocent children will be scared now. Parents with nothing to fear will now be wary and have a watchful eye on their children. Out of thousands of children, only maybe twenty will receive the lethal doses. That is in the news, too.

What they do not tell you is that each of the kids has been a public nuisance to the neighborhood. Busting windows, writing on walls, running through yards, picking on dogs, and that sort of stuff. Each of the children with the lethal dosage comes from a violent home. None of the children are wanted in their households.

They just do not know, though, that most of them have nothing to fear. They do not know that I do my research well. Grandma Annie never fails to remember which unique child to give her special doctored treats to.
