I used to believe that Candy Cane Caninyos (pronounce: ca-NEEN-yos) lived on South Pearl Street. Me and my mom went down Pearl to see if there were any.
"Did you see any candy-cane caninyos?" Mom asked.
"It's night and they're sleeping." I replied.
Mom did one of those mother-exasperated sigh things and drove home
