Duh

 We saw a commercial for Pepperidge Farm cookies this morning.  The voice over intoned, "Why do cookies in ruffled paper cups taste so good?" and "What makes cookies covered in chocolate so delicious?" and other delicious, dramatic nonsense.  Images of creamy, melted chocolate and crisp, airy, buttery cookies floated across the screen.
 
Miriam and I were sitting on the couch, brushing her hair and trying to fashion some sort of pony tail.  The last line of the commercial said, "What makes these cookies so perfect?"  Miriam turned to look at me and said, with all the drama an 8-year-old girl can muster, "Well, it's because they are made with chocolate!" And rolled her eyes.  And waved her arms violently.

How can you disagree with that?
