This evening, I made my "famous" chocolate chip cookies (from scratch, thank you very much). The following conversation took place in the kitchen shortly after the first batch came out of the oven.
Mattie: (after her first bite) I know why they are called chocolate chip cookies!!
Mommy: Really? Why?
Mattie: Because they have chocolate chips in them.
Mommy: WOW! Daddy, did you hear that? Mattie thinks they are called chocolate chip cookies because they have chocolate chips in them.
Daddy: I don't think so, are you sure, Mattie?
Mattie: Yes, I am an expert.
