overheard today

at the hancock compound:

LIZ : "Owen do you know what happened to the little teeny chocolate chips that were here on the counter"

OWEN: "No"

LIZ: "Really?..."

OWEN : averts eyes and starts tapping fingers

lengthy pause

OWEN: "you mean the ones that were in my lunch box?"

while we don't reward this type of behavior, we do admire the problem solving skills being applied to resolve the tricky situation.
