Cookies Are an Always Food
Me: I HAVE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH IN MY REFRIGERATOR RIGHT AT THIS VERY MOMENT!!!
Anne: Cookies are a sometimes food.
Me: What’s a “sometimes food?”
Anne: Did you not hear that Sesame Street is making Cookie Monster eat healthy things? His new song (which is actually being protested by people) is "Cookies Are a Sometimes Food."
Me: THAT'S JUST SO WRONG! The whole POINT of Cookie Monster is his unabashed gluttony! Kids can relate to him, so they don't mind when he starts talking about the alphabet and shit! AAAAACK! They're messing with the icons of my childhood!
Anne: Yeah, I think that they are missing the point. Four-year old Anne did not think that Cookie Monster was correct, or even normal, to eat cookies all the time. She thought he was funny, so she paid attention. I didn’t develop bad eating habits until high school.
Me: Exactly. At FOUR, we were smart enough to know that Cookie Monster was NOT a role model. More of the dumbing-down of America. Also, for the record, I was never dumb enough to have Barbie for a role model, either. She had way too many clothes, didn't have a job, and slept around a lot. Wait... where was I going with this?
Anne: They get points for trying something. But if I were going to do nutrition, I’d use Bert and Ernie.
Me: Yeah, gay guys are WAY more into body fitness.
