    When I was a kid in the 60s, there an old lady who handed out giant homemade popcorn balls at Halloween. The next day at school, everyone would be talking about it.

    My parents were always twitchy about Halloween anyway, so they wouldn’t let my brother and I got to her house because it was homemade, and it might be poisonous. I tried to explain that if that were true, every kid in every class I’d had in elementary school would be dead by now, because they all got popcorn balls every year.

    I’ll bet they were good. I wouldn’t know.
