All-Day Sucker

I have never been able to eat a Tootsie Pop without biting into it after about 10 seconds to get to the Tootsie Roll. Sure, we've all been there where we say to ourselves that this time we won't bite into it, and there have even been television commercials that challenge us not to bite it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jhjb4P_jnKk), but it is unavoidable. Three licks...then, "CRUNCH".

Then why is it that Lev and Daniel have been sucking on these Tootsie Pops for almost 30 minutes now without so much as a tooth scraping against it. Could it be that I made the huge mistake of telling them they could choose a piece of leftover Halloween candy for dessert before brushing their teeth and going to bed tonight?

Lick, lick, lick, lick, lick, lick...
