KID GIVES CHOCOLATES TO EVERY GIRL IN SCHOOL

Yesterday, we had the story of a high school senior that gave all the girls in his school roses for Valentine’s Day. Now, a copycat Valentining: a Utah teen gave every girl in his school candy. Tryston Brown, 14, was thinking up what he could do to boost his female friends’ experiences on Valentine’s Day because, as his mother Anissa Brown said, they had “numerous conversations” on what a difficult time junior high is for teen girls. Tryston, who mom says has had struggled with depression in the past (* Snowflake alert!), has recently been researching the mental health condition and noticed these issues (*?!!), she added. “They” came up with the idea to give all the girls candy. Tryston went to the principal’s office to find out how many girls were enrolled at his school, Rocky Mountain Jr. High School in West Haven. The answer: 537. Mrs. Brown reached out to a Hershey distribution factory and inquired about the best place to buy chocolates in bulk. The woman who Brown spoke to mentioned that she had a daughter in 8th grade who struggles from depression herself and offered to gift the chocolates to them for free. The girls all received Reese’s Cups, Hershey Bars, Kit Kats, Hershey Kisses and such.
* “Hey, Lou – where’s all that stale, leftover Halloween candy you wanted to throw out?”
* Candy for depression? At least that part checks out.
* Maybe Tryston wouldn’t be so depressed if he’d been given a normal name, like Tom or Jim.
* “What’d you say your name was? Dristan?”
* Candy in the schools? Thank goodness Michelle Obama isn’t still in office. She’d have the army shut down this operation toot suite.
* Oh, by the way – Tryston’s dad is the town dentist.
* First flowers, now candy. Next year, we’ve got to up the ante. All the girls are getting an iPhone.
* 537 high school girls…that brings back a lot of bad memories.
* See, that’s the same number of girls that rejected me.
* But thank goodness for Girl #538.
* Okay the flower idea was great. But this? This is derivative.
