Great Minds

We woke up to snow this morning.  I knew I should have finished putting up the Christmas lights yesterday, darn it!  Kate is out happily playing in the snow, and Faith is in here with me happily watching her.  She just turned to me and said,

"Mom... are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

Me: "I don't know, what are you thinking?"

Faith:  "We could get a really big marshmallow [holding up hands in the shape of a baseball], and then, and then...   we could put it in some hot cocoa, and have a contest to see who can drink the hot cocoa and eat the marshmallow at the same time [elaborate imitation of trying to drink cocoa around an enormous mallow], and whoever finishes LAST wins! (Faith is good at playing to her strengths.)  What do you think, mom?!"

Believe it or not, that was exactly what I was thinking.
