When you give a kid a sucker, then you forget that you gave it to her, and she forgets she is sucking on it so she drops it in the most obscure corner of the house, and it stays there for weeks until mom is looking for something else and finds it stuck to the wall and carpet, what will you find attached to it besides wall and carpet fibers? Naturally you would find a small, dead cricket. Then, being the person that I am, I did not immediately throw it away because that would take too much energy to walk all the way to the garbage, so I set it on the TV stand and forgot about it. Then in the morning we let our child out of her cage and she made it down stairs before we did...... and what do you think happened when she noticed the lollipop sitting on the TV stand? Of course she popped it right in her mouth and enjoyed it immensely until her dad made it down stairs and found that innocent little girl sucking on a cricket lollipop. Kill me now.
Reminds me of the time I found an OLD sippy under the bed where then Pres picked it up and started drinking it. He took a few long draws before I got it away from him. I popped it open, hoping it had simply been water, and almost vomited. It was some kind of very fermented juice.
