Ok, so I just went downstairs into my kitchen to say goodbye to my niece Brooke who was over for the last three hours baking cookies with dear husband Bob. They like to get together for baking sessions as often as possible. It's their bonding time. Sounds like some wholesome family fun right?
That's what I thought too....until I saw this note on the counter.
"What's this?" I asked pointing to the note sitting in front of them and the plates full of the cookies. (Cookies were made to take on the big family get together in Wisconsin this weekend)
Both Bob and Brooke start giggling and looking all pleased with themselves. Brooke said that Bob made her count and separate the good from the bad cookies onto different plates. Then he had her take the amount of good cookies and divide it by the number of people coming to the cabin. And as you can see.....they "each can have 4 cookies." As if counting and dividing cookies wasn't wacky enough it quickly dawned on me that the 17 bad cookies sitting on a plate off to the side from the other plates was the one batch that I was in charge of while they went to pick up pizza for dinner. Yes, my cookies were the 17 bad cookies. And guess what? They don't even get to come to the holiday weekend. I was told they were for me to eat. I was told that as Bob set them into the freezer. I guess I get to eat them frozen.
So now I'm still standing in the kitchen with Bob and Brooke and I completely have no hard feelings towards Brooke because I fully know who is behind this. My husband is so competitive and such a people pleaser (try pleasing me you turkey) that he just could not risk having to take credit for my slightly more done but nevertheless delicious cookies. He's like that. And what is so appropriate is that he wrote 76 God cookies instead of good cookies. I'm sure he thinks his cookies are God cookies.
But according to my math, 17 delicious crispy cookies for me.....and 4 cookies for everyone else. Looks like I win!
so funny! bob you dog, you. heehee
