The truth about cookies

My sister and I decided to communicate in nothing but haiku for an entire day this week. She is a fifth-grade teacher and was home with my six-year-old nephew who was running a fever.

We created more than 20 haiku in a back-and-forth email exchange over the course of the day. Most of them were very, very bad (as you might expect). But my nephew contributed one worth sharing:

We have cookies now
Cookies are awesome to eat
They are good with milk
