elias had no idea that inside his very own kitchen cupboard was a large jar of dum dums. as my camera came out, his mom betsy brought out the hidden jar to use as bribery. oh the magic of the lolli. the sticky yummy magic. his grumpy mood instantly gone as one was placed in his hand. betsy stuck them in my hair poking out of my head like antennas. this helped a bit, while i focused on her row of cuties. made him giggle just perfectly. but one was not enough. before we knew it, elias was on number three. i have never seen anyone chomp a lolli like that. as soon as he unwrapped them they were gone. a little lolli monster. the blue one above must have been number five which he pulled out of my hair before i could stop him.
