Lollipop vs Sucker

I asked Claire how pizza day was today and she said, "it was as sweet as a sucker!"  Then she said, "Sorry mom, I meant lollipop.  I pronounced lollipop as sucker.  Sorry."  I said, "That's ok-- it's not a bad word, I just prefer lollipop myself."  Claire says, "Me too.  If someone says, 'let's go find a bunch of suckers', it sounds like they are looking for people to bully."
