Narrator: Halloween will be here before you
know it and we all know that Halloween, to most children, means candy. To promote good nutrition and dental health,
is the aim of T.O.P.S. members. So when
trick-or-treaters ring your door bell, offer them some fun alternatives,
instead of sugary treats.
Here
is a T.O.P.S. member shopping for Halloween treats.
Shopper: Let’s see. What should I buy? What do little kids like?
Bad Angel: Candy, you dolt!
Good Angel: Not candy.
Too much sugar.
Shopper: Candy
isn’t good for teeth either. I don’t
want to contribute to their dentists’ yacht fund.
Bad Angel: It’s
Halloween! One time a year won’t hurt.
Good Angel: The
little kiddies binge on Halloween. This
sets up a bad precedent.
Bad Angel: Precedent? President?
Peppermint! Yes, buy
peppermints. They’re good for you.
Shopper: It
is Halloween. It is only one night. Maybe some candy isn’t so bad.
Bad Angel: Yeah,
yeah, yeah. Ha, ha, ha, ha, (maniacal
glee)
Good Angel: Wait
a minute. Not so fast. Kids don’t have to have food to have
fun. What kind of message is a T.O.P.S.
giving?
Shopper: I
really want to encourage good eating habits.
Bad Angel: Bah!
Shopper: I
don’t want to give the message that only sweets are good. But what else do kids like?
Bad Angel: Cigarettes
Good Angel: There
are lots of fun alternatives to candy.
Look here’s some:
Apples
and boxes of raisins, and sun flower seeds
Bad Angel: GAG!
Good Angel: and
there’s
Stickers, Place items in the cart.
Halloween pencils,
Halloween bouncy balls,
Temporary tattoos,
bubbles,
balloons,
sugar free gum,
etc.

Shopper: This
is the perfect solution. Kids will be so
happy. And I’m happy.
Bad Angel: And
I’m disgusted.
Good Angel: And
I’m De-e-e-lighted!
Narrator: It’s
now Halloween. Our T.O.P.S. shopper has put all the good non-candy
alternatives in a big bowl. The
trick-or-treaters can now pick out what they want. They love doing that.
Bad Angel (wearing face mask): Trick or Treat!
Good Angel: What
are you supposed to be?
Bad Angel: A
politician
Good Angel: Figures.
Narrator: I
hear the doorbell. (Ring a bell, or
knock loudly on the door)
Shopper: Ooohoooh, I hear someone.
Narrator: The
door is opened.
Trick-or-Treater: TRICK-OR-TREAT! TRICK-OR-TREAT!
Shopper: Oh
how cute! Here’s your treat. Pick something out of the bowl.
Narrator: Note
how happy the child is.
Trick-or-Treater: Thank you.
Shopper: You’re
welcome. Enjoy.
Good Angel: Aren’t
you glad you listened to me?
Bad Angel: Hey! Tomorrow the stores put all their Halloween
candy on sale. Everybody loves a
bargain.
Good Angel: But
our T.O.P.S. are intelligent. They
control their emotions, and don’t let emotions control them. …
Narrator: Let’s everyone sing:
Halloween Song: (To the tune of
“She’ll Be Comin Around the Mountain)
Oh,

Yes, we’ll give away all the goodies when they come.
We won’t buy any candy. No, we won’t sneak any candy.
No, we won’t eat any candy when they come.

Oh,

Yes, we’ll give away all the goodies when they come.
To the witches and the ghosties, to the pirates and the bums,
And we’ll all weigh in with losses, every one!
