Pay no Attention to the Cake on My Face!

So at the risk of becoming a blog exclusively about cake I am posting a story about... cake. But oh well, right?... it is so much a part of what goes on around here lately. And this story is a classic...

I'm in the kitchen, humming away, completely surrounded by cupcakes. Isaac and Ellie are in the living room watching Cartoons. Being a mom and completely aware of all things going on in the house, I notice that the kids are helping themselves to the unfrosted cupcakes I've left by the oven. The cupcakes I've decided I'm not going to use. Needless to say, I don't care... Hey, they aren't whining to me to make them any food so, I'm good. After a considerable amount of time passes and many, if not all the cupcakes are consumed, Isaac decides he is going to tattle on his sister. It went something like this...

Isaac: "Mom, Ellie has been eating the cupcakes."

Me: "Oh, really? You haven't had any?"(At which point I actually have enough sense to grab the camera that is right next to me on the cupboard, Lucky me!)

Isaac: "No, I didn't have any. Ellie ate them all."

Me: "Are you sure about that?"

Isaac: "I didn't have any. Ellie has been eating tons of them"

Me: "Not even one?"

(This is the point when it suddenly dawns on him that there might be
something on his face giving him away)

Isaac:
"Well, I might of had a bite of Ellie's"

He then runs out of the Kitchen and straight to the bathroom mirror.
Me trailing behind with the camera.
(I'm so mean!)

Upon seeing the reflection of the red velvet cake covering his face, he finally notices it all over his hands, and realizes he has been caught "Red Handed". What he does not realize is that I don't care about the cupcakes anyway. He instantly breaks down into a crying fit. It's such a horrible feeling to get caught lying! (yes, I'm speaking from experience...I told a few in my day)

I'm sure he was really confused as to why his dad and I were standing at the door taking pictures and laughing our rears off. He finally confesses to eating the cupcakes. And confesses that he was worried his nose was growing. Something Andy told him was happening. We then had to have the little talk about how important it is to tell the truth and how your mom can always tell if you are lying, even if it isn't written all over your face. If I had only had the video camera on hand, this was hilarious!
