We were in the car, driving home from picking up Aunt I at the airport, when Daddy called with the news of the birth of his daughter. K & D were with us, and they reacted to the news with grins but not much else (not surprising, considering that they didn't yet really know what having a baby sister was all about.) As we continued driving, I noticed that D was falling asleep--and 4 PM is not the most desirable time of day for a 3-year-old to nap. I remembered that I had 2 lollipops in my purse, so I asked Aunt I to give them to the kids, knowing that a lollipop would keep D awake for at least a few minutes.
When the kids finished the lollipops, they asked for more (naturally.) I said, "No more lollipops. Usually we only have lollipops on Shabbos, but today you got lollipops because it's a special day." There was no response from either of the kids, so I asked them, "Why is today a special day?"
D answered, "Because we got lollipops!"
