Overheard from the peanut gallery

As I was working on my gazillionth attempt at a batch of cookies for the freaking cookie swap.

C: "Mommy, practice makes perfect, or at least good enough."

Mommy: "Thanks for the encouragement kiddo."

C: "It was nothing. But I think next time you should let me bake the cookies, OK? I have a chef costume you know."

If you ever, ever read anything that mentions baking cookies, cupcakes, or other such tasty treats, remind me, please, I beg of you, that I do not bake well.
