Santi: Mom, today, at school, my teacher sprayed pasta with gold, red and green paint, and we made Christmas stuff, and I chose a tree shape and a donut and glued the pasta on it.

Santi: Yup, a reef, and Zeke chose a bell and a donut, i mean a reef, too.
moi: Cool! Pasta is yum.
Santi: (shocked) You CAN'T EAT gold pasta! You'll go blind!
