Praying to Candy Gods




















My nieces by the candy machine.

A mall we had stopped at had one these candy stations placed every several feet. Brilliant marketing that generated blinding parental headaches.

As a aunt, I found it all hysterically funny. Every child in the place, all speaking different languages (we are in Vegas after all), bowed and paid homage to the candy gods. They climbed, touched, banged, turned the switches - never know what might fall out - begged, pleaded, whined, and had to be dragged away. Success! Until they spotted the next station barely 10 feet away :-)
