Moonie’s a family-friendly guy, so this is intended to be a family-friendly blog. But sometimes, things happen.

Like when we were passing by the shop “Sweet and Nasty” in Boston in April, and Moonie was immediately mesmerized by the sweets in the window, begging to go inside. It was no use explaining that the shop was only for grown-ups. Cakes and candies, he is convinced, are for Moonies, no matter their shape or content.

He was immediately taken with some lollipops molded to look like, er, something of the male persuasion. And I just couldn’t help taking a couple of photos (later, as the store prohibits any photography) of Moonie with his two favorite choices. They’ll appear after the jump so you have time to scoot the kids out of the room.

Kids gone?

Yes?

OK, here goes.

I asked Moonie what he thought he was holding.

“Candy!”

“Yes, but what kind?”

“Chocolate and vanilla!”

“Yes, Moonie, but what are they shaped like?”

“Rocket ships!”
