Sticky

So I have had the pleasure of taking a young family to church with me for the last few weeks.

There are 3 beautiful children in this family....

Firecracker (in my class)
Princess (His 2 year old sister)
And Stud Muffin (an infant)

I am learning so much from being with them every Sunday.

But today, I had the pleasure of teaching Princess something
        But only after she amazed me first.

The Crazy 2nd-Year Teacher that I am
        gave lollipops to the kids today (with Mom's permission).

Well as you can only imagine, they got
              STICKY!!!!
Princess wasn't having any of this.

She went to the Children's message feeling sticky
       Returned after it was over with one comment.
                "I need wash hands, I sticky."

After taking a wipe to her hands and removing all sticky-ness
       Princess returned to eating her lollipop
All of a sudden she leans to me and asks the most profound
       and exceptionally observant question.

While pointing to the stick in her hand that her candy is so
       nicely posed on top of, she asks,
"Why this make me sticky?"

I told her that her candy was sticky and it was melting
         and therefore dripping onto her hand.

Princess then told me something too smart...
      "Oh, I put in my mouth and make it stop dripping."

Which is just what she did.

She was so proud of herself that the stickiness didn't intensify
      after she placed it in her mouth.



As a side note...According to Firecracker the inside of the lollipop
was none other than
a Tooshy (a slang word for butt) Roll.

Oh those speech sounds that we haven't mastered at age 5 (as of Saturday).
