<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

So basically it's 11.30pm here and I'm currently studying cross border transactions for my upcoming exam. As you can imagine, I've been at it for a while and haven't been completely sound of mind.

Anyway, there's a huge lollipop on the dining table where I'm working. This isn't an anomaly since my niece stays with us during the week and often brings home candy given to her by her classmates for their birthday in play school. 

So it's about 2 in the afternoon and I'm really craving something sweet and proceed to remove the outer wrapping and I put it in my mouth... only to discover that what's in my mouth is not even remotely sweet. It's not even horrible-tasting. It's just... Plastic.

I'm at shock at this discovery. I cast a furtive look around and realise that no one saw my little indiscretion.

Immediately, out of shame and disgust that I just tried to consume something plastic out of sheer desperation, I put the wrapping back on and leave it at the exact place I found it.

About 4 hours later, I realise my mother is trying to get my attention (I have my earphones in). In her hand is the offending item. The piece of plastic that I had, mere hours ago, enveloped in the warmth of my mouth, thinking it was a quick snack. For a minute I am alarmed - how did she ever find out that I tried to consume whatever this was??

I take my earphones off and she thrusts the 'lollipop' at what was likely a face of mild panic.

"Hey. Did you know that this was a pen? Pretty cool, eh. Do you want to use it?"

I could only nod mutely and accept the pen from her.

<bot>: I thought a lollipop was a pen and tried to eat it. Too tired for this sh*t man.
