Want a Drag?

My husband and I were celebrating our dating anniversary last night (18 years, thank you! :-) and were walking around a local shopping mall taking in the sights. Brilliant colors appeared in my vision and the many patterns and sweet smells of candy beckoned me into the candy store that I always visited as a child. (Did I mention I have an extreme weakness for sweets??)

Well, it was neat looking around and remembering all of the candies I enjoyed as a kid, including some that were more for novelty than for taste. For instance, those little wax coke bottles with the weird syrup inside, rock candy, Pez candy, etc.

And what did I see but a whole shelf of candy cigarettes!!! I've seen these in remote convenience stores, but I was surprised to see a whole array of them here. I laughed and then got a very wicked idea.

What if I bought some and passed them out to all of the kids at my next playgroup??! Can you imagine?? My kids puffing away on them and then myself handing them out? "Here ya go, little guy! Enjoy!"

Hilarious!!We laughed and laughed at that scenario and the reactions I'd get from the moms and how I'd be blackballed, being so non-PC, and all!! LOL.

We even had a good laugh again later at the mention of it!
