Wax on, wax off.
Welp. My commitment to giving up candy is coming along swimmingly.
I’m willing to bet a lot of young people today wouldn’t even know what wax lips are. (They were considered vintage candy when *I* was a kid in the 1980’s.) Hell, I’m willing to bet a lot of young people wouldn’t get the “Karate Kid” (1984) reference in the headline.
To be honest, the appeal of this candy kinda hasn’t aged well? I’d swap them out for Nerds or Pop Rocks any day of the week.

“You little prig.”
You don’t need to laugh. Most people don’t like my puns very March.
I’d have gotten up earlier this morning if I were more of a responsible adult. I’d also get more done today, I’d stop eating sugary cereal and I’d feed my mind tonight with something other than cheesy horror movies.
But you know what they say — “Beware the I’d’s of March.” So I am at least a good Roman.

(Let’s set aside the pedantree.)
A few of you dendrological-type people might notice that there are actually two trees in this picture. (People on Facebook have pointed out that the one on the left looks like a maple or Bradford pear, while the one on the right is a crape myrtle.) So the meme is based on a falsehood.
But I wouldn’t have known. And the point remains important anyway.
