Oh lolly lollipop

So I was thinking about the phrase "like taking candy from a baby" today as my 16 month old flipped out when I tried to take back the lollipop she stole from me. A very, very misused phrase. Appropriately used, one might say, "Oh yes, giving birth was like taking candy from a baby. A lot of blood, screaming, and stitches."

Or perhaps, "Dude, I saw a wicked bar fight, and it was like taking candy from a baby! One guy's ear got ripped off and the other guy went to jail!"

Anyway, I never got my lollipop back.
