Happy Face Jello

When I dropped by Elizabeth's school this week for a parent-teacher conference meeting, the kids in her class were playing outside. As soon as I walked through the gates, they rushed up to me and started chatting excitedly. I can't help but be reminded of -- and I say this without meaning to be offensive but instead with plenty of affection -- meerkats! They are adorably curious and oh-so-small ... then again, what do I know about meerkats?

These adorable small beings sure love jello, so I made the kids -- not the meerkats -- jello with happy faces made of bananas and clementine. It was a happy day for all of us.
