Do Not Collect Two Hundred Dollars

I don't know about y'all, but in my fucking day (see how I mitigate the fogey factor with gratuitous swearing?) it was not acceptable practice to demand more candy after the first round has been passed out. What is this? When did it start? Am I horribly stingy to have a basic policy of one piece of candy each, unless you seem shy in which case here is half the bag? (And can I also add that this is good candy, quality Hersheys and Reeces stuff, no Boston Baked Beans for me?)

Twice tonight I was lobbied for more candy. One way not to get something from me is to demand it, so both times the appeal was declined. (That is, if you're still small enough for me to bench press -- if you have the capacity to fire me I handle it differently.) The second one was an incredibly persistent two-year-old, who was literally in my foyer, blocking my access to the rest of the group, and who also happened to be making that whining/shrieking noise that I can only imagine that pregnancy renders one immune to.

So, what's up? Is there a tacit agreement on quantity of candy distribution?
