Penguin Girl has been eating the candy she set aside for herself from trick-or-treating. For some reason, she has been limiting herself to one selection per day so it's taken a full 2 weeks for her to eat it all. She announced to me last night after dinner that she is out of candy. A couple of nights ago, we talked about that day's selection as she was getting ready for bed.
PG: Mom, the lollipop I ate had something in the middle!
Me: Was it a tootsie pop?
PG: Yes, a cherry tootsie pop.
Me: Did the stuff in the middle taste a little like chocolate?
PG: Yes! (her tone suggesting she thought it was amazing that I could even guess what was in that wonderful lollipop) It was like chocolate but it was not chocolate.
Me: Was it kind of chewy?
PG: Yes! (again, Mom's knowledge of candy is mind-boggling)
Me: Well, you know, a toosie pop has tootsie roll in the middle of it.
PG: Oh! That was tootsie roll?!?! I thought tootsie roll was like a chewy stick!
Me: Well, sometimes it is but they take a little tiny bit and put inside the tootsie pop.
PG: Oh! It was really good!
Indeed.
