Random Act of Kindness

So this year my kids' store-bought, chocolate-filled advent calendars also feature nice little holiday-themed "random acts of kindness" ideas on each day's flap. Recently, my 12-year-old decided to take it upon herself to enact one that read "Make Someone a Cup of Hot Cocoa" and I happened to be the lucky recipient. Unbeknownst to me, though, she decided to forgo simply using a packet of powdered mix and instead made some 'from scratch'. Of course I didn't know that until I took a sip and the thick sweetness of it shot directly to my brain. I instantly heard a popping sound which I believe was my left eye forcibly dislodging itself partially from the socket. With a gentle smile, I asked her what was in it and she informed me that it basically had chocolate and every type of sugar (regular, powdered, brown) she could find in the pantry. After experiencing a brief bout of cold sweats moments after, I'm pretty sure her random act of kindness has reconfigured my DNA.
