My daughter gave me a sucker for Valentine’s Day.<\/p>\n

A sucker is what I call a lollipop. It’s not as good of a word for what it is, but, I guess, it’s what I’m used to.<\/p>\n

This sucker is red, heart-shaped, with a cartoon cowboy grinning big. It has a cellophane wrapper that is stuck to the candy.<\/p>\n

I rip off the cellophane and it splits in two. I throw it away and think, this isn’t going to taste that good to me. Not anymore, not now that I’m forty years old.<\/p>\n

But, it does taste good. It tastes so good, and for one second, I’m 7-year-old Clark again.<\/p>\n
