It’s like nitro and glycerin – a recipe for disaster:

young, candy-depraved child

+

candy-throwing parade angels

+

consecutive moving motor vehicles

=

insanity – at best.

Seriously, listen in:

Parent before the political office runner: “Don’t run in front of that car!”

Kid: “I gotta get that candy!”

Parent before the fire engine: “Don’t run in front of that car!”

Kid with glazed over look: “Candy!”

Parent before the parade princess Miata: “Don’t run in front of that car!”

Kid with drool-soaked chin and glazed over look (reminiscent of scenes from The Exorcist): “Candy! Candy! Candy!”

1 mph is still not slow enough when one considers the speed with which a child can muster in order to acquire his/her coveted candy!
