Challenge 2 of 2: Confused. Indentation error?

I'm confused with this one. Please help! Thanks

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    for item in items:
        print(item)
        if item in items == 'STOP':
            break

        if item in items == 'STOP': 
            break

Think about the order of what the challenge asks you to do. It's asking you to print the item. However, if the item is "STOP" you should break out of the loop. When you look at your code, is that what's happening? Take another look.

Good luck!
