All-Grown-Up Birthday Girl

Mommy, Mommy, candy cigarettes!
     look how many I have got

   Then there are some other brands
     Can you tell me, What is pot?

Good grief! ... Do they still sell those candy cigarettes? I remember getting those when I was a child.

I am one who was glad to have candy cigarettes,I was only six! You know parents think nothing of going to dinner, boozing and giving their kids.. KIDDIE COCKTAILS. There is a disease called alcoholism that kills far more than cigarettes. Pot today is far more dangerous, but Fentabyl smoking is more popular plus drugs from MDS and therapists. Pangie

This xerarch child is definitely growing in a dry place to receive such gifts for her birthday. I do remember the day when there were candy cigarettes, which brings to mind what was a candy company thinking. I guess back then they did not know the dangers of smoking and definitely did not know about pot. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page. Do come for tea. Sara
