DD thought it would be fun to scare the crap out of me. She ran into the living room yelling "Ow, ow, ow, ow, owie!" and waving this around in the air-

Yeah, I remember using cherries to stain my lips red like lipstick at her age.
Some how, I got the kid who is interested in "special effects."

Exactly this.
I would have freaked out, yelled at her, then laughed about it later.
I bet she's going to dress as a zombie for Halloween instead of a princess. hahaha

That's pretty hilarious. Not that she made your heart stop, though.
My sister and I used to do this with cherries. We would paint practically our whole bodies at the swimming pool, then just jump in the pool to wash it off.
And, LOL at the zombie princess peach costume. I think you should do it!
