innocence lost



I am eating an Orange Tootsie Pop. I got a whole Indian complete with bow & arrow and star. I was totally excited - as I have been for YEARS. We were talking about it work, so I Googled it.

It's an Urban Legend. I am devastated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But the sun is shining :)

Terrible. I even grew up hearing that if you got three whole circles on the wrapper it meant the same as the Indian. Complete bummers.

I had a Tootsie Pop for the first time today! Right after reading this! Weird!

It is oddly coincidental that I also ate a tootsie pop today, prior to reading your blog.
