Halloween cynicism from a pre-teen girl

This week I am talking to my class about Halloween. Early in the class today, I ask everyone why we have the holiday of Halloween, hoping to segue into talking about druids and All Hallows Eve. One little girl spoke up:

"You have Halloween because rich men want sell more candy!"

I almost died, but I have to admit that, in a way, she was absolutely right. Her father must be some sort of conspiracy theorist.

Happy Scary Candy Day!
