Michael Jackson cookies

So my good friend Ginger makes the best Oatmeal/Chocolate Chip Cookies. They are so good that at my monthly girls night we always ask her to make them. And I usually try to bring a few home for Dan to thank him for taking care of the kids while I'm out gallivanting around with MY GIRLS! I got the recipe from Ginger so Dan could bake them. Yes, I said Dan. I don't like to bake or cook for that matter. But I do usually cook dinner by force, but Dan usually bakes the goodies. In fact, there are many times late at night Dan will say, "I need a treat." Then he breaks out all the stuff to make cookies or snacking cake or brownies. The last time we made the Oatmeal/Chocolate Chip Cookies he decided to name them "Michael Jackson Cookies". I didn't get it at first. Then he explained that they have both Milk Chocolate Chips and White Chocolate Chips, so they are Black AND White! I laughed my head off. So that is what the kids call them now, not really understanding why Dan named them that....so we thought. The other night Dan was making them and I was in the kitchen with him. We overheard Lindsay telling Zane why they are called Michael Jackson cookies. She said, "See Zane, there's white and dark chocolate chips in them. And you know how Michael Jackson is black, but then he put white powder on his face to make him look white? Get it? That's why." Then they laughed. So I have NO CLUE where she got the whole "white powder on his face" bit, but Dan and I couldn't stop quietly laughing in the kitchen. Then Lindsay wanted to turn on the song "Thriller" and do the dance while Dan was baking them. Where do they come up with this stuff?
