Big Sticky

The other day when I picked up the See's Candy for our Young Women Fundraiser, I got my kids each a butterscotch sucker for the drive home. This reminded me of the last time I picked up See's candy for a fundraiser a year and a half ago. Steven was just a newborn, but I got Elise a butterscotch sucker for the drive home. She was still a young two, and she didn't talk as well as she does now. I looked back to the backseat in my rearview mirror, and she was covered in butterscotch. I said to her, "You look like you got a little sticky." She looked at me very seriously and said, "No mom, I not little sticky, I BIG sticky." It cracked me up. So this time around, Elise managed to stay a little big cleaner, but Steven was definitely "BIG" sticky. When I looked at him it just reminded me so much of Elise a year and a half ago. Except, of course, saying "I BIG sticky" is just not in his five word vocabulary.
