I'm the sucker!

So the lab that I work with usually sends a blowpop with each order. I rarely get around to eating these and today Ella found one. She loves to play with candy wrappers, and since this sucker was still in one, I let her have at it. I heard her crinkling it behind me for a while and then I saw that she'd started to crawl around with it in her mouth. I thought it was kind of cute and was thinking to myself, "isn't it funny she's sucking on that like she knows it's candy or something..." Then I started to think about the potential danger she could be in if she fell (which she often does) and that was in her mouth. Not quite as bad as running with scissors, but I decided I should probably take it away. That was when I really looked at what she was doing, and the pink drool now covering her face, shirt, and my carpet. She then pulled the sucker out almost as if she was teasing me. "Look what I did mom." She's no sucker. I am.
