Candace brings home lots of little games from school that kids like to play with each other, and her brother Joshua usually latches on to them. One that she recently taught her brother goes as follows:

Child 1 (to Child 2): Are you afraid of lollipops?
Child 2 (Usually confused by the question) : No.
Then Child 1 immediately motions like they will smack Child 2 in the face, forcing Child 2 to involuntarily blink.
Child 1: Yes you are!

So yesterday during sacrament meeting, Joshua played this game over and over with Levi, who never caught on to the game and defiantly maintained that he was not afraid of lollipops.

Fast forward to the end of church. My meeting finished first, so Luke and I hurried to pick up Levi from nursery. Then we went to the primary classrooms, where we waited for Josh and Candace. Josh emerged with a picture he'd colored as well as an orange sucker. We collected Candace and then headed home.

Joshua was in a good mood, so he offered to share a lick of his sucker with each of his siblings- first Luke, then Candace. Lastly, he held the sucker in front of Levi, who excitedly took a big lick and exclaimed, "See! I'm not!"
