Who was inside that candy store?

I was riding my scooter in Nebraska and spotted a bedazzled teen inside of a cute little old-fashioned candy store.

She had a giant red bow on top of her head and was buying A LOT of candy.

I went inside to ask why she needed so much candy.

And this is what she said to me....

Hey, hey

It’s your girl JoJo

Here we go

If something about the day just got no taste

And you’re feeling like life’s no piece of cake

If someone salty got you down

There’s sugar in the air

Just look around

Bubble gum

Gumdrop

Drop it like a lollipop

Never let the craving stop

A million flavors

Breathe ’em in

Rainbow colored oxygen

Don’t you worry ’bout a thing

This life is sweet

Sweeter than you think

Gonna live the dream

Like a candy queen

This world’s got more

Than you can ever hope for

Just gotta walk through the door

Like a kid in a candy store

It’s weird right? Like a whole bunch of other kids joined in the fun and started dancing around the store with her. I was like, “WHAT..... IS...... GOING....... ON....... HERE?”

And then to make things even more wacky, the whole place just faded to black once she stopped. So, if anyone can tell me what happened to me that day in Nebraska, or knows anything about that bedazzled teen with a bow, please clue me in!
