While at the grocery store I came across the Christmas Cookies that you can buy in a tube and cut into individual slices. The package says it makes 36 cookies....Don't believe it... I'm doing good to get 24 and that is before Bill finds out I have it.
AnyWho.... I immediately think... "I can use this as a reward or bribery (which ever will work at the time) for Myranda and Tyler to begin their chores as soon as we get home without whining. So I pick up a couple of tubes.
On the way home I explain to Myranda and Tyler what they have to do in order for us to bake some cookies. To my surprise they were very excited and in complete agreement. Mentally I was thinking "this is too easy". We got home and Myranda and Tyler immediately went to their rooms and began picking up toys, gathering dirty clothes, etc... I was impressed. I told Tyler, "You know what?, I think it is time for cookies". We went to Myranda's room to inform her of the good news.
Tyler immediately told me that Myranda already had cookies (or cookie dough). I said, "excuse me". Again he said, "Myranda already has cookies." I looked at Myranda, (she had that "deer in the headlights" look) which immediately turned into a glaring stare with hands on hip (don't know where she got that from) "Tyler" she yelled, "You weren't suppose to tell, it was a secret".
"Where are the cookies?", I asked. Tyler proudly told me that the tube of raw cookie dough was under Myranda's bed. Knowing that she was in a bit of trouble and didn't want to take all the blame she proceeded to tell me, "but MOM.... It was Tyler's Idea...
