    Learn how to bake the awesomest shortbread you can, & wrap some of that edible-gold up in wax-paper for each kid.

    Flour, cornstarch, oats, butter, salt, do not add-up to the extortion-prices charged by the flavored-sugar-in-plastic-wrappers companies.

      OK that’s actually a fantastic idea. Cookies it is. If parents have a problem with unwrapped corpo-candy then their kids don’t have to eat them. I can spend a day banging out ten dozen cookies and not give the monthly-sugar-holiday any more money.

        The sad part is this may be the first time in history that there are enough randomly psychotic and violent people on the loose in the US that this is something parents should suddenly have reasonable fear of.

        I’d be less afraid of razorblades and more afraid of my kid getting shot on some hick nazi’s doorstep tbh. MAGA nuts have already gunned down kids on their front lawn for less.
