The night that Melissa came home from the hospital, our neighbors brought over a plate of sugar cookies. It was so sweet of them to take the time to cook some cookies to show their relieve that she was home and healthy. Of course, we all enjoyed several -very tasty.
The next morning as I was cleaning up the kitchen I thought that something was missing off the counter, but really didn't think too much about it. Later that night we were all in mine and Drew's bedroom watching TV when Melissa got up and then returned with a cookie. We all were like "oooo! I want one!" She said, "Okay, but I'm rationing them out! You can only have one! They are MY cookies!"
Well...alrighty then... And that's when it dawned on me what was missing from the kitchen counters: the plate of cookie! She had hid them!!
The next day Melissa stayed after school for a club and William and I were home...all alone...and hungry for some cookies. We then proceeded on a search and eat mission.
After our success, we felt it was only right to hid the cookies again....in a different spot.
After dinner we said, "Hey, Melissa - you should pull out the cookies for dessert."
"Okay - but I get to pass them out!"
Oh, the look on her face when they were not where she hid them was priceless. Of course, I could have done without the scream of "Where are MY cookies!!??? What did you do with them???""
She really doesn't do well when everyone is laughing...but her....
In the end she got her cookies and even passed one out to all of us. Of course, we'll see if she ever shares with us again, but she probably will be finding a new hiding spot if she does.
