A Short "Sweet" Story

When I was a little girl there were small grocery stores everywhere. They all had a little section of loose candy. Some of my friends (classmates) had tootsie roll pops. They were chocolate with the chocolate fudge center. If I remember correctly, they cost 2 cents. I managed to get the money and made my way to the store. I told the sales clerk that I wanted a tootsie roll pop. Now I did not realize that they came in all flavors. Proud as could be, I left the store. When I opened my candy, it was LEMON. I was so disappointed and I did not have another 2 cents.

Years later I told my friend, now husband, about that story. Yes, I still remembered! One day when I left work and got in my car there was a tootsie roll pop on the seat of my car. It was CHOCOLATE!

Obviously, I cannot look at tootsie roll pops without thinking of this story.

My hubby does this sort of thing. He is a really good listener.

That’s my short, sweet (no pun intended) story.
