Life lessons

One of the things that was funny to see at yesterday's Fasnacht parade was how sometimes the guys on the floats (see pictures) would lure kids over with a handful of candy, and when the kids got close enough, all of a sudden they would dump confetti all over them with the other hand instead. That's the story of life, isn't it? Since this is also a place where children grow up thinking they may be hauled off to the Black Forest in a sack at Christmas by a guy named Schmutzli, it seems to me that Swiss kids are probably instilled with a baseline level of Angst at an early age. What better preparation for adulthood?
