Licking pinecones

Today during snacktime, third-grader S--- said, with his pointer finger raised in the air and with a professorial tone, "To avoid licking pinecones, try using a crystal instead."

Context : This was in response to J--, who said that he'd made a birdfeeder during After School which was a pinecone covered in sunflower butter and birdseed, and he hadn't hung it up yet and sometimes he licked off the butter. (He later clarified that he licked it off its containing jar, not off the pinecone itself.) S--- was concerned for his health, and suggested a crystal because it's more sanitary and because "birds are attracted to sparkly things".
