Usually, I bake homemade cookies every week. This week, I simply didn't have time. Apparently, this was a problem.
As I sat at the computer, doing my work, I heard a strange sound - something that resembled the sound of a siren.
I wondered which member of my household was making it. I guessed either my son or my husband.
It was my husband.
"What's the big emergency?" I asked.
"There are no cookies in the house," he said.
I shrugged. "Sorry. I ran out of time to bake them this week. You'll have to eat fruit."
He shook his head. "We can't have this." He grabbed his keys and headed out the door.
When he came back twenty minutes later, he had a bag full of - you guessed it - boxes of cookies. Three boxes to be exact.
"Seriously?" I asked. "Was that necessary?"
"Absolutely!"
He took one whole box for himself and disappeared into his office. When he came out, half of the box was eaten.
I shook my head. There is no doubt in my mind that I live with the cookie monster!
It must be fun living with your family, you never know what is going to occur next. Great read.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
This is very true. I never know what's next!
DeleteOh, the calories he just consumed...
ReplyDeleteI don't even want to think about it!
DeleteStore boughten don't taste is good, if so, he probably would have ate the whole box lol
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's a good thing I didn't bake cookies!
DeleteI feel the same way when there are no cookies in the house! :)
ReplyDeleteYes. It's a major crisis. I feel that way about chocolate. ;0)
DeleteHi, dear Sherry! You should remind your husband that half a box of cookies = 5 hours on the treadmill. I'm a fruit nut. I would much rather snack on fruit than on sweets of any kind.
ReplyDeleteI hope your week is off to a great start, dear friend Sherry!
We have a treadmill. I should make him run on it. ;0)
DeleteThe cookie monster in the flesh! :P I'm with Shady...I'd pick up fruit before a cookie...unless I badly craved a cookie with my afternoon pick-me-up.
ReplyDeleteFruit is definitely the better choice.
DeleteDefinitely the cookie monster, but I can understand his pain when there's no cookies in the house.
ReplyDeleteYou have to have cookies!
Deletejust half? Where's the shock in that?
ReplyDeleteWhen you consider that there are a dozen large cookies in each box, I'd say six cookies was quite a lot!
DeleteLOL! I could almost hear him growling "Cookies!" as he shut the door to his office. ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha! That's a good one!
DeleteI usually eat cookies every day. That's probably not the same thing though, huh?
ReplyDeleteNot unless you eat a half a box of cookies!
DeleteDoes he say, "Me want cookies?" If so, he's the Cookie Monster for sure.
ReplyDeleteI don't recall if he said that this time, but I've heard him say it once or twice.
DeleteToo funny, especially because it was your hubby. :)
ReplyDeleteHe's a funny guy!
DeleteHaha! He didn't even offer you one? At least he didn't demand you go out and buy cookies. Now I want cookies:)
ReplyDeleteIf I went, I probably would've gotten the wrong kind. ;0)
DeleteWow, that's a lot of cookies to eat at once... Great story
ReplyDeleteHe must have been craving them.
DeleteYou have trained them to love the cookie, lol. My daughter loves to bake so I can see how it would be weird not to have a cake at some point in the week,
ReplyDelete"I've trained them to love cookies." You're probably right. I'll have to retrain them to love fruit.
DeleteI"m sure the cookies your husband bought weren't as good as yours! He might have eaten the whole box in that case. :)
ReplyDeleteGood thing they weren't homemade.
DeleteMust have cookies in the house. I understand busy, but if you can't bake them, then buy them. Must have cookies in the house.
ReplyDeleteMy family love cookies, too. Chocolate chip ones are the best.
ReplyDeleteThese were chocolate chip. I think they're his favorite. I like white chocolate macadamia nut, too.
DeleteOh no mam your husband is not a cookies monster.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure?
DeleteHah! I'm sure those cookies weren't as good as the kind you make, though... :)
ReplyDeleteProbably not.
DeleteNO COOKIES? What were you thinking? I also live with a cookie monster but alas a cookie monster who is used to buying his cookies there never being any home baked on offer. Actually I'd best not let him see this post or he will come away feeling hard done by.
ReplyDeleteHaha! If your husband likes cookies, maybe he should make them himself.
DeleteWere they only half as good?
ReplyDeleteYes. That's why he ate only half the box.
DeleteI bet those boxed cookies weren't half as good as the homemade ones! Dang, now I want some cookies..
ReplyDeleteWe're out of cookies, again. Guess he's going to have to make another trip. ;0)
DeleteHow sad that he didn't pull out the fixings for 'real' cookis and make them himself. *sigh* He might have ended up with the cookie baking job since, in my experience, men really like to bake cookies and tend to take over the job after frowning down the baker's neck.
ReplyDeleteI don't think we have all the fixings for real cookies. His only option was to buy boxes.
DeleteBet they weren't as good as yours... but fruit is not an acceptable alternative!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Veggies?
DeleteHe really likes his cookies. I've left the house at various times, even late at night, for cravings, so I understand where he's coming from.
ReplyDeleteI usually crave chocolate or ice cream. So I get it, too.
DeleteI think you and I are on the same page, having no cookies is not a crisis... :) ... I hope he enjoyed them xox
ReplyDeleteHaha! The rest of my family doesn't get it.
DeleteYour hubby sounds like a big kid! Hahaha! But then again, men don't grow up, do they? xoxo
ReplyDeleteYes, he is a big kid!
DeleteLOL. I don't keep sweets in the house because my youngest goes berserk, but my hubby does like to keep a stash of treats just for himself.
ReplyDeleteThat would be exactly what my man would do!
DeleteHehe...definitely a cookie monster!
ReplyDeleteSherry, I tried to answer about Bubba's drink but cant get any comment space are you switched off?
ReplyDeleteBy the way very clever son you have.
Yvonne.
No, I checked. The comments are still on, and I can comment. Others seem to be able to do so as well. Maybe it was just some strange temporary glitch. Hopefully next time you try, it will work.
