YUMMY COOKIE!

I made chocolate chip cookies yesterday, which never last even 24 hours in our house, but that is beside the point.  So I made these cookies and gave each of the girls one to eat.  Payton and Rae didn't eat them before we had to leave for their activities for the day so I said to put them on the counter. They put them on the "counter" (you will know why I put that in quotes later).  

We went about our business and we were coming home from soccer that night and the girls asked if they could have a cookie after dinner.  

I said yes and told Payton and Rae they could finish the ones that they put on the counter.  

Payton said, "I didn't put it on the counter. "

 I asked her where she put it then.  

She said, "in the trash"

"What?  Why would you put it in the trash"

"I didn't want it"

"Well you don't trash it, you can eat it later.  You can eat that one before you get another."  Fully knowing that that wasn't going to happen, eeewww!!

We got home and I went and looked in the trash, and there it was, right on top of a broken shoe, THE WHOLE COOKIE EXCEPT FOR ONE LITTLE BITE!!  Ew I was so mad!  What a waste! Or was it.  So I took that cookie out of the trash and dusted it off and placed it nicely on the pink plate with Rae's cookie.

Then my brother and sister n' law came over to eat dinner with us.  I guess Jason (bro. n' law) saw the cookies and asked Rae if he could eat one.  Rae shrugged her shoulders and gave him a cute little look.  So he thought they were golden!  He started eating it!!

A few seconds later I walked by and saw the pink plate with one cookie on it, Rae's!  I looked at Jason who was half way done with his cookie and said, "Stop!  Where did you get that cookie?  Did you get it off this pink plate?"  

With a startled look of course said, "yes, why?"

So I told him the story of that cookie, how Payton put it in the trash, it sat in it all day and that I just took it out when we got home and that she was going to "have to eat it" and then I started laughing.  

It was so funny!  

The crazy thing is if I freaked out so much on him eating it, was I really going to "teach my daughter a lesson" and make her eat it?  PROBABLY NOT!!
