It’s become more and more common to find a large disclaimer notice outside seasonal corn mazes, reminding parents of the obvious dangers lurking within. The worst of these are the all-too-common nursery rhyme songbooks that are strewn all over the darkest paths of these mazes. Children become absorbed in these books, and cannot help but wander into the corn and sing nursery rhymes for hours and hours, until their parents give up and are forced to leave. Such children wander along through the fields, singsong voices raised in a soft, gentle chorus that some find maddening, and others terrifying. But it’s just distracted kids, reading, singing and learning about corn. And all they want is for you to join them in the maize.
