Ring Pops…more Gabeisms
Remember these? Oh, I do. Gosh they were yummy. I had a few too many of these as a kid. I think my mom actually likes to hand these out. Hence, a few months ago, she gave Gabe one when we were visiting her. She always gives him some sort of memorable things from the past. And the child never forgets a thing. So, this afternoon, he comes running into my office…
Gabe: Mom! There was a ring pop on the tv!!! I haven’t had one of those in forever! Can I have one?
Mommy: Gabe, we don’t have any.
Gabe: (whining, as always) But I want one!!! Mommom Sissy gave me one when I was at her office!
[insert my rolling eyes here. Yet another thing I get to thank my mom for…corruption of my children. 
]
Mommy: Well, we don’t have any, so I can’t give you one.
Gabe: Well, can we get one at the store?
Mommy: We’ll see.
So, one would think that the conversation was over. But, this child is so my child. When he wants something, he doesn’t give up. So, tonight I went upstairs to do our little nightly cuddle in bed before he went to sleep. And I hear this…
Gabe: Mom, when it’s treat day, and I’m good, and I get a treat, can I get a ring pop?
Mommy: We’ll see, Gabe. They are kind of hard to find, not all stores have them.
[and this is where the corruption of t.v. viewing comes in…]
Gabe: But, Mommy, they are available in grocery stores everywhere.
OMG, don’t you hate it when they are so right? LOL Mine gets me like that ALL the time. “Oh, those are those paper plates that hook together to form a lid!”

Thank you for leaving a comment at 2Peas.
Our girls (9 and 13) went through the ring pop phase too. They also sold them in a lipstick case, then in a compact where you could keep the unfinished pop back, which I thought was a little gross ? LOL
