a bowl of lolly pops. He also put out small water bottles. I put out a bowl of a variety of mini candy bars and a bowl of lolly pops. A friend had a big bowl of a variety of candy. I simply said you can have the choice of 2 on this table and the choice of two from these two bowls and a choice of two from that bowl. . They looked shocked. The older kids followed my direction.
