The big peppermint stick

I have a nephew named Chris who is only a few months older than our son, Steve and when they were very young my brother in law Roy won a huge peppermint stick. My husband thought it was worth a news story and had the photographer from the Topeka Daily Capital take a picture of Chris sitting in a little chair licking the huge peppermint stick. Newsweek picked it up and ran it on the cover of Newsweek. I guess my sister, Helen, had to throw it away eventually because it was huge. It was a very cute picture of a cute little boy.
