Off Recipe

I was baking sweet potato muffins tonight and had the following exchange with the babes:

CML: What kind of muffins are you mixing?
Me: Sweet potato muffins.
CML: I do not like them. I will not eat them.
Me: You do like them, actually. You ate four on Thanksgiving. They have raisins.
CML: Actually they should have chocolate chips.
CJP: Mom? Could you put chocolate chips in them?
Me: In theory, sure. The recipe calls for dates or raisins, which is how I made them last time. When you all ATE THEM.
CJP: Mom! Can you go off recipe? And make them with chocolate chips? If you go off recipe, it will freak Daddy out!!
Me: Hmm...okay. Let's do it! But...don't tell Daddy! He WILL freak out! Especially if you tell him I'm not even measuring the chips! I'm just dumping them in!
CJP: I will tell him first thing tomorrow during guy time!
