We don't eat a huge amount of candy, so it was a treat.
I do have to admit I spent several miles in the middle wondering if that treat had been a big mistake.
What if the candy came off the stick and got lodged in somebody's throat!?
For a while I eyed the shoulders, figuring I had plenty of room to pull over and stop in a hurry. I even looked back at the pickup truck in my rear-view mirror. Would he stop to help? Would he know how to do the Heimlich?
My brain takes these scary little paths sometimes. Is that just me??
Anyway, whether I foolishly ignored the risk of back-seat choking, or wisely ignored my worrisome mommy self, I let the boys continue on with their suckers.
After a good long while, Dale piped up from the backseat:
"Wow! My sucker has chocolate in it! It has a tootsie roll in it!"
*Pause for another taste of newly discovered chocolate*
"Huh! So THAT'S why they call it a Tootsie Roll Pop!!! I thought they called it that just for fun!"
Don't you love discovering the world through they eyes of a kid? :)
