On double stuffed...
Laura eats the middle out of an Oreo, which is laying flat in her hand.
Lisa: You are an animal.
Laura: What? I only eat the middles. It's fewer calories.
Lisa: The calories aren't in the icing! Do you know what the middle is made of? Crisco and sugar.
Laura: Thank you. Because it is delicious. Your Jedi mind tricks won't work on me. They just make me hungrier. And fatter.
