NikkiH at Parenting.com — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 16:45:00 -0500

Like many Neil Gaiman readers, I was introduced to him through his epic comic book series Sandman. He won over my sinister little 15-year-old heart when I read "The Sound of Her Wings" (issue #8 of Sandman), because it featured Death as a young, cheery girl who wore all black and the occasional top hat. Also, her little brother Dream came to her for advice. Too cool.

Confession: This morning I let my 2 ½-year-old son, Jason, have a lollipop—at 7:15 a.m. He’d just gone pee pee in the potty, and given that he’d fulfilled his part of the bargain, he was ready for his treat. Which had to be a lollipop. A big one, and pink. We were running late. I had no other “healthier” treats and he wouldn’t have had it anyway. And so, he had a lollipop before even one morsel of real food crossed his lips.
