When you take your kids on a family trip to an amusement park, I bet the last thing you'd assume were to happen would be that a sniveling, nosy, entitled Karen would demand you give HER children candy. Or maybe you would assume that I don't know anymore. Karens are everywhere. Especially where you wish they weren't. Their timing is impeccable, that's for sure. In any case, OP decided that seeing as summer was almost over, she was going to take her kids to an amusement park. One of her daughters often got motion sickness, so, in her own words, she brought along 'a ziplock baggie full of ginger candy along to prevent and soothe nausea'. Sounds like a good idea, right?

Well, it was. And all was good and fine… until one of Karen's kids, who we haven't quite introduced in the story yet, took the reigns on their own family trip, and things went a bit haywire. To find out what happened, scroll below. For more, here are the funniest Lone Ranger memes from last week.

    Font - definitely an acquired taste. As we are standing in line for the log ride, I pull out my baggie. I choose a lemon one as does my son (13). My daughter (12) asks for a mango one. While I'm fishing a mango one out, I hear the kid in front of us tell his mom

    Font - That's when I pipe up with the very helpful, "It's really sticky. What's left is probably stuck in his teeth. He'll have to wait for it to melt off if he doesn't want to chew." The mom looks at me in disbelief and a shrug. Then she asks
