this week i read about how candy canes were created. according to this tall-tale, in 1670, a German man was very rudely interrupted during his Holiday program by some squirmy kids. he was very upset and angry that his program was ruined, but instead of yelling or punishing the children, he gave them candy. he made sticks of candy and shaped them into Shepperd's staffs like in the bible and gave them to the children so that they would be quiet and listen. i think that the man was clever to give the kids candy because bribing really works for kids, i would know!(:
i also think thats it cool to be able to learn the story of the creation of candy canes because
they are a Christmas tradition that many people share. for example, a lot of my friends
give out candy canes to everyone during Christmas time just as a gift. so i think that because
of those rowdy little kids, we now have a special Christmas tradition to share with those
around during that special time each year! (:

that's a very interesting story on candy canes im enthralled..haha ..but ,i have to say i disagree that bribing for kids always works, it actually incourages them to behave badly and be able to get whatever they want.
Haha that's cool and pretty random :)
