How many licks to the center of a tootsie pop?So I am sitting here at work when my 9-year-old son pops up in GTalk and made my afternoon. I was so tickled by this:

Christopher: Hey daddy

Ron: hi buddy

Christopher: guess what

Ron: what?

Christopher: Have you wondered how many licks it takes to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop?

Ron: I wonder that all the time. How many licks does it take?

Christopher: I just counted with my tootsie pop and it take 645

Ron: OH MY GOODNESS – you actually COUNTED? You ROCK!

I can’t believe he actually counted. That’s my boy. heh
