When I was about seven years old, I still was on the pacifier. I just wouldn’t give it up! Everyone tried to get me off of it, but it was impossible. Being a big second grader, I felt some embarrassment. However, there was no way I was going to give it up!

 

One day, my mom went to the store. She brought home a big bag of something. I was curious. When she wasn’t looking, I took a little peak in the bag. Inside were about twenty. Ring Pops. The next day, I couldn’t find my pacifier. I started to scream! Then I thought of something. Those Ring Pops looked just like a pacifier! So, whenever I had the urge to stick my pacifier in my mouth, I would have a Ring Pop. Eventually, I ate them all. But by that time, I didn’t have any more urges.

 

Later I learned that this was all my mom’s evil idea. Whenever I see Ring Pops in a store, I’m always tempted to get one and relive those days. ~ Lisa from Wisconsin
