    You got me there. I have thought of both an icicle or candle. Candle seems to fit better. I'll be interested in other posts.

    At first I thought a flower of some sort but changed my mind and I'm going with candle.

    I'm going with candle too...I didn't come up with it myself though, I stole your Mom's answer. :)
