There is an
off-label use for Candyland. Like so many for-profit pharmaceutical
concoctions, the child’s board game is only a façade. The off-label uses
prevail, and drive real profits.
“If only I’d
drawn plum, earlier in the game, I might have not lost my kids,” one user
lamented. Yes, Candyland is widely used to determine custody rights. So, you
can be a parent for 10 years without question, but once entered into divorce
court, a date with Candyland could be your instant demise. Determinations on
your parental abilities come from a 20-minute observation period. You, kids and
Candyland.
This date,
sounding so sweet like candy, has ended in the tragic loss of my children for
life. Until they’re 18. When they may vaguely remember this ridiculous game and
the fate it delivered.
Dating
etiquette tip: don’t accept candy from strangers. Especially when it’s a court
date!
