Another thing about the candy at the front of the stores isthat it is never up high where the little kids about 4 years old can't see it! I can't imagine why!

Infact, not many of us, really de go into the ,grocery stores unless we're with our mothers and then there's no way that we can buy half of the "junk" that we'd love to buy,' The stores that teenagers seem to spend the most time is in places that sell records, clothes, sports equipment,. have pinball machines, and restaurants! We don't need records but, it's great to have the newest records and' take them to, your friends to listen to.. Of course we get sick of them after listening to them for the sixty-third time in a row! We don't need all of the clothes that 'we buy although it's nice to. have a. different outfit every day of the week with everything matching including -our underwear. We don't need a new pair of skiffs every year but it's nice to have a nice pair of skiffs to ski with once or twice in ` the winter. ` And we definitely don't need to:0spendhour after hour : trying to beat a pinball machine in a game!' Just think, of all of the money read or watch everyday! Think of your favorite break- fast cereal. On the back, of most cereal boxes there is some sort of advertising whether it be a set of pencils. with your nameprinted on them or a tripfor.two to the Carribean. When you'resit- ting at home alone eating your Captian Crunch or Rice Krispies you'll probably find yourself reading, the back and the side of the box either purposely or absent-minded- ly. It .always tells, you the. same old thing.. "Exclusive; Canadian Stationery offer," or "How would you like this: unique, opportunity toown: your own personal pencils or pens with your name or message imprinted right in them in gold coloured letter- ing! Great for school, great for home, great for. fun,, great for gifts." They always guar- antee you something fab Mous : and then send you something', not anything like . what you expected. For ten. pencils youwould pay $1.50, which sounds like a really good price until you start 'figuring out that pencils only cost around 1Oc each -that.
