Cool Whip Crime

Owen:  Mom, what is that stuff?
Me:  Cool Whip.  It's sort of like whipped cream (but not quite as good).
Owen:  Can I taste it?
Me:  OK, you can have one finger-full.
Asher: [walks into room] Taste it?
Me: [puts finger-full of Cool Whip into Asher's mouth]  OK guys, let's save the rest for dessert. [Walks out of room.  Returns in short order to room to find two boys on stools, up to wrists in Cool Whip, mouths coated, and formerly third-full tub licked nearly clean.  Gets camera.  Tells boys never to do that again.]
