Bless you Tod. And stop while you can.
"I'm twelve" is snark for "I'm thinking juvenile thoughts", naughty thoughts, feeling silly, etc.
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Nilly's not 12. She's a college student.
Hope you're wearing tasty shoes!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Heh. Tod, Nilly is only twelve in her heart. What makes the angelic and inspired outpouring of that twelve-year-old heart so dazzling is that English is not her first language.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
nilly is a grown woman. I think the confusion is because she referred to herself as having the sappiness of a twelve year old. Being a 43 year old woman with similar sensibilities, I understood what she meant. But she packs so much in her posts , that I can see where you might have misunderstood.
ha! I knew this was going to be an x-post.

You smelled the smell?
Aw, CRAP! Sorry folks! Definitely gonna go wash my feet now. Bye!

I'm surprised there weren't 50 posts immediately. Must be a slow day here.
Tod, since you're new, I suppose someone should point out that Nilly may well be the only person on this board whom offending or insulting will earn you the wrath of every single member of the community. Seriously. We love the woman more than pudding. And we love pudding a lot.
But I think we're all still convinced you meant no harm.

Oh, yes. I knew it wasn't meant as an insult at all, just a misunderstanding.
Though I did read Tod's post multiple times to make sure I was understanding that one right. Oh, Internet!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

With the possible exception of Nilly herself, who tends to think the best of everyone.
And in this case, no harm done, really. Nilly said she was twelve and you took her at her word, which is all to the good. Please put your feet down. Grown-up feet are not meant for eating. (Though, if you do anyway, be aware that it may have been a while since you last did this; best brush up on your technique first).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Awww....
So does she prefer toesies to fingers?
