Him: Hey Mom, whatcha doin’?
Me: Making cookies for Gal Smiley’s Halloween party.
Him: Oh, that reminds me, I signed you up to make cookies for my party.
Me: Um, a little more notice next time would be good, buddy.
Him: I figured you wouldn’t be busy.
Me: SNORT. So, what kind do you want?
Him: Those soft molasses ones.
Me: Are you sure you don’t want something more festive?
Him: No, everyone LOVES those.
Me: Everyone? How does everyone even know what they are?
Him: Well, sometimes when you put them in my lunch I let other people try them.
Me: What?
Him: Sometimes I just don’t feel like eating cookies.
Me: You don’t feel like eating cookies.
Him: Naw.
Me: I guess this explains why you are a 52-pound ten-year-old.
Him: Mom? Everyone really loves your chicken nuggets, too.
Me: OF COURSE THEY DO.
And, scene.

And what is the soft molasses recipe? 🙂
Yes, now you are going to have to post that recipe!
I thought they weren’t even ALLOWED to share food! Is it because he’s the one who’s allergic to the most stuff so people are allowed to eat his lunch? Oh well – it’s nice to be appreciated even if it comes in a whacksack of crazy, isn’t it? (Whacksack of crazy is my new favourite expression).
Hey, I forgot about that rule! They are pretty unsupervised out in the portables, so I’m guessing the rules are kind of a fluid thing in their Lord Of The Rings environment. We will have A Little Chat about this when he gets home.
Although, it is nice to have the third-hand compliments. Maybe I should invite his friends over for dinner sometime!
Well, now I need your cookie recipe and the chicken nuggets recipe!
