13-yr old and me decorating cookies.Mom, wouldn't it be fun if we had green icing? Or red? It's Christmas... White is boring. The green I had wasn't exactly the Christmas kind of green but let's pretend. It's green and he was happy. How happy I found out in an instant.
Getting another batch from the oven, I turned and saw moose with green feet.
Me: What? But.. why? Why moose with green feet?
13: Sure they have green feet, figures
Me: "?"
13: Well. Like. They happen to live in swamps right? Well Dûh...
Me: "?!"
13: (sighs) Hence the green feet...tssk
Ooookaaay fast forward. There's another 13yr-old in this house and he enters the building:
13 #2: Hey, moose with green feet. That's fun! (chews and swallows) And good!
Me: would you believe your brother gave the moose green feet?
13 #2: Have you ever seen a moose upside down in a swamp?
Me: No!!
13#2: Ha, see? Now you know why!
13#1 and 13#2 make a high five and leave the kitchen.....
Boys are the best!! Their logic knows no boundaries! Great fun. x
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteWhen my daughter was little, we made paint brush cookies. They were basic sugar cookies cut out in Christmas shapes and when they were cool, I made half a dozen colors of cookie icing and gave her a package of brand new art paintbrushes and let her "paint" the cookies with icing any way she wanted. We had purple angels and red and yellow trees and she had a great time.
ReplyDeleteI haven't made the spice cake yet - maybe later tonight - and I'll let you know how it turns out.
Merry Christmas!

Haha logisch toch!!
ReplyDeleteHier zijn de kerstkoekjes ook versierd in alle kleuren van de regenboom. Tegenwoordig ook de 'kip'-uitsteker erbij, want met kerst kan je toch kip eten?? (nou ja in koekjesvorm het liefst toch in hun ogen ;D)
What fun and you are lucky to have a teen who wants to bake with you! I also have a moose cookie cutter so I can also have moose with green feet! Yay!
