They'll work just as well as a Monday brightener, though. So here's a clip of SteelyKid a couple of weeks ago, laughing at the "got your food wrapper" game:

Sorry, dude, no offense, but nothing is cuter than Puppy Bowl. Does this kid have kitten half-time? No, he does not.
She's saying SOMETHING organized on the phone, because she said it more than once and she's very definite about it. I couldn't figure it out of course, but SHE knows what she's saying!
