There was no candy left after the town center, and a I had to tell that to a few disappointed kids at the tail end of the parade. I also had to tell a few disappointed adults that I wasn't being generous with anyone over 12. Finn got a couple of tootsie rolls before we started though. Sputnik didn't want any. He missed out. It's a good thing we didn't have Cuzco with us. Cuzco is a candy fiend and likes to plunge his entire head in a bucket of candy and eat all that will fit in his mouth, wrappers and all. We've had this experience at several events over the years. Turn your back on him for one second and Cuzco is literally IN the candy bucket, and usually quite a lot of candy is shoveled out onto the pavement as he dives toward the bottom. Cuzco knows that the further he buries his head, the harder it is for me to pull him back out.
