God loves us

Evidently K, with M's J, made glitter slime this afternoon.

Me, voicing an opinion that I have long held and have voiced before: I don't understand why slime is so popular.  Instead of slime, you could make chocolate chip cookies.

J: But you can share slime with people!

Me: You can share chocolate chip cookies with people!  Chocolate chip cookies are proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy!

Shortly thereafter...

Unkie and Uncle J were in the kitchen playing with what I thought was the glitter slime. 

Me: So, is that the glitter slime the kids made?

Uncle J: It's putty.

Unkie: Thinking putty. 

Me (do you ever experience deja vu?): I don't understand why slime is so popular.  Instead of slime, you could make chocolate chip cookies.  Chocolate chip cookies are proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy!

M's hubs P: Do we have chocolate chip cookies?

Em: I can make shortbread!
