I treated myself to a new book last night too and I can't wait to start on a project out of this book. 
Well.......it's happened...... My son is starting to get some New England "slang". I guess I call it slang because it's not what I'm used too. But today, Jacob's teacher gave him what I have grown to know and be called a Sucker. Now here in Manchester, most places call them a "Lolly" or "Lolly Pop". Well, Jacob was talking to me on the way home while eatting his "sucker" and referred to it as a "Lolly Pop". Now...my delima...is when we go back to KY and he talks of a "Lolly" or "Lolly Pop" what on earth will the think?!?!?!!??! OK OK no one else will probably notice.I just recall the day I was at the bank with both boys and the gal behind the counter asked me if the boys could have a "Lolly". I'm sure I looked at her blankly.... I asked "What the heck is a "Lolly"?" She held up a Tootsie Roll Pop, (Yeah THE GOOD STUFF), and I was like, "OH!! A sucker!", and in return I got the same blank stare I probably gave her. Anyway.... just a funny thing that happened that I thought that I'd share.
Now... go have a sucker...or a lolly... or a lolly pop. What do you call them?? Leave a comment and let me know! :)

I always called them lollipops, but I also called soda pop-tonic and milkshakes were frappes.
I think we use both here, but I was raised by someone who was "from away" so you'll catch me saying "pop" instead of soda every now and then. Perhaps I'm the wrong person to ask...
Lollipop. A sucker isn't a nice thing to call anyone or anything in these here parts! lol As for the beverage w/ bubbles, that is soda, and milkshakes have no ice cream, and frappes do. Of course if you are from Rhode Island, you'ld call those a cabinet. Yeah -- a cabinet. Go figure.
I guess we are a true melting pot out here in CA. We use all three terms.
Your Jaywalkers are really coming along! The yarn is so pretty in person.
Oh, and you know I call them lollipops.
