Don't we all?

We've overheard some good stuff over the years. Here's one from this afternoon. I was in the kitchen and the kids were downstairs playing I don't know what. There was some excited, unintelligible chatter, then this....

Colleen: "I will not run for my life. Why are you always telling me that?! You have issues with running I think."

What happened?

Earlier this afternoon, Colleen had her first experience with an Oreo cookie in quite some time. After eating two of them, she took a look at her hands and said, "I'm dirty, I have to wash my hands!"

Cate explained to her that it was cookie dust (and therefore, quite edible).

Colleen reiterated that a hand-washing would be required, thank you very much, so they went downstairs to wash. As Cate was helping her dry her hands, she said, "Colleen, do you want to see something really cool?"

Colleen: "Yes!"

Cate lifted Colleen up so she could see her face in the mirror, and she caught sight of her face -- covered in Oreo crumbs, from eyebrows to chin, covering both cheeks. She said: "What. Happened?"

That, my friends, is the result of a 3-year-old and two Oreo cookies.
