Steroid Hair and Runny Frosting

What do you do when you have two semi-sick kids who, for some unknown reason, are acting more spazzy than usual and are slowly driving your completely over the edge?

You lock yourself in the kitchen-- metaphorically speaking, since the kitchen doesn't have a door unless you count the back door that leads into the yard-- and bake lemon coconut cupcakes from scratch! You also threaten anyone entering the kitchen with the electric mixer and spatter the still too runny frosting everywhere.

After taking one look at the steroid hair (it's huge and won't de-poof), the powdered sugar smudges all over the clothes and a Pollock-esque splash of cupcake batter on the jeans, they tend to run screaming anyway.

And the frosting is still runny, no matter how much powdered sugar I put in it. Fuck it. I'll say it's decorative and call it a day.
