Cookies, kids, and food groups
Little Fayoumis's school had a cookie decorating night as well as a PTO meeting. Little Fayoumis wanted to do the cookie decorating, so we went and did that. I gave the meeting a miss. I'm not quite a grown-up yet.
Little Fayoumis is evidently friends with one of the popular girls in his class. I know she's popular, because she has the perfect hair and the cool clothes and earrings and that "Look at me, I am a cute and sweet and charming star" air about her. They sat together and there was much frostingy, gooey, sugary mess.
One young charmer (10 or so) was wandering around telling everyone how very unhealthy their cookies were, and offering to help out in eating them. This evolved into figuring out what food group the cookies belonged to, based on the frosting color. One other young charmer mixed green, white, and black frosting together, to disgusting effect. Young charmer #1 pretended to vomit on the cookie.
Little Fayoumis decorated and ate two cookies, then wanted to know if he could join Young Charmer #1 and the girl he was bothering the most (presumably his sister) outside for a game of tag. That sounded like a good plan to me. Meanwhile, Little Fayoumis's little friend had decorated her cookie lavishly, with about 1.5 to 2 times the volume of frosting and decorations to the actual amount of cookie there.
There was running and screeching outside. LF's friend came out after a bit, and there was incredible amounts of running and screeching. Every so often, she would dramatically collapse on the grass and declare that she was unable to continue living, and that sheer exhaustion must surely make an end of her.
Then she would bounce back up and chase/be chased by Little Fayoumis. They played with her toddler sister, too.
I gave our phone number to the parents, in the case that the kids will want to play together sometime.
Wow. I'm a grown-up.

There are times when I am completely floored by that revelation. And then I think, "Gawd, did my MOM feel that way too???"
