Gas and lollipops

There is a full-service gas station near our house where I usually
fill up my car's tank. The men at the station know me and love seeing
Belle and Emily. They always give the girls lollipops. Belle quickly
caught on to this and she sometimes asks me if the car needs gas (so
she can get her lollipop fix).

We refer to pacifiers as "babbas." For some reason, Emily calls
anything that she is allowed to put in her mouth, besides food,
"babbas." So, though Emily knows what a lollipop is, she will call it
a babba.

Yesterday, I told the girls that we needed gas and little Emily asked
excitedly, "Babba?" Yes, I told her, she'd get a lollipop out of the
deal.
