The oven timer went off while I was frosting cookies

The oven timer went off while I was frosting cookies for my grandson's bake sale.

I looked at the timer. I looked at the perfectly swirled buttercream rosette in my hand.

Punchline

Turned out the timer was just suggesting when to take them out. I'm the one who decides when they're done — usually right after I finish my tea and the frosting sets.
