Why are you eating sunscreen?

So I was unpacking the diaper bag and put the sunscreen on the island. My 2 year old asked what it was. I told her it was sunscreen. She wanted it, but I told her no since it wasn't sunny and we weren't outside. (Logical, right?) So 10 minutes later I find her eating the sunscreen. After taking it away from her and cleaning her up I ask the logical question, "Why did you eat the sunscreen?" She said, "I want ice cream." So I think I need to articulate a little better so my child doesn't think that the tube of sunscreen is actually ice cream.
