Sparkle Striped Pumpkin Cookies!

Ethan: "Bummer Mom."

Me: "Bummer?  Why?  Did something happen at school?"

Ethan: "No! School's great.  I meant, Bummer for you."

Me: "Oh shoot!  Did I mess up a cookie?"

Ethan:  "No, they're fine.  But you ran out of orange."

Me:  "I did?  Oh no it's almost Halloween!

(jumping up and running to the drawer of colors)

Um....wait, here's orange...and terra-cotta...and electric orange. 

 No I'm good."

Ethan:  "Oh."

Me:  "What......*silence*.......seriously Ethan, what?"

Ethan:  "Then what's with the funky colored pumpkins?

they're weird...."

Me:  "Well, I was trying to be artistic and use fun colors"

Ethan:  "...oh......OH!!!!"

Me:  (waiting....eyebrows raised)

Ethan:  "They're like...Punk Rock Pumpkins!!!

Awesome!"

(well now why didn't I think of that)
