And I'm glad you showed your kids the right thing to do. It is very difficult to be 'nice' and still make your children aware of the dangers. I love the ‘stranger danger’ dvd.

Three or four years ago I bought a couple dozen newspapers. It was a great coming together of coupons that let me purchase the newspapers for 25 cents, my favorite spaghetti sauce being on sale for 10 cents lower than it usually goes on sale for (which is over a dollar less than the normal price) plus the newspapers having a coupon for 75 cents off of two of the jars of spaghetti. I was able to buy quite a few jars of spaghetti sauce, but then I had a lot of newspapers that I didn't need. I spent the late morning and afternoon walking around my city offering people a newspaper. I got rid of most of them, but it was a lot of work, and still had a half dozen left to recycle. Most people gave me a suspicious look and refused, but only a few actually asked me what the catch was. Not very many people believed that I was just giving away the day's newspaper.
