The Case of the Missing Cookies--Solved!



Today the woman had some Christmas presents that needed to be wrapped. She had mailed her presents up north before we left so that we wouldn’t have to lug them around the airport along with our luggage. So when we arrived here a couple days ago, the presents we bought and shipped were waiting for us. Since we were alone today we took the opportunity to wrap them up. Upon opening one of the boxes, she discovered a box of homemade Christmas cookies that she spent two days looking for.

Funny story about these cookies, a story that helps illustrate all the craziness that I must put up with take care of on a daily basis. About a week ago, the woman’s aunt stopped by to drop off some presents. This aunt had thoughtfully baked a variety of tasty cookies for us to enjoy. Well, the woman put the cookies down and went about her day. When the man arrived home, the woman went to look for the cookies to show him. But they were gone! She looked all over for them but could not find them anywhere.

The man and I were worried; we didn’t want these misplaced cookies to entice another Mr. Jingles. But no matter how long and hard the woman (and the man and I) looked, the cookies were nowhere to be found. Today, we found out why. The woman had unintentionally put the cookies in a box of presents and shipped them up north. Luckily, since it’s cold the cookies still taste good, not stale at all. So we now have a whole box of delicious cookies to enjoy.

Oh, and about those presents. Well, I had to help the woman wrap them. And I think I did a darn good job, too.


This one was from me.


All the activity really wore me out. Somehow I ended up doing more wrapping than the lazy woman.


I'm ready to kick back with a nice, piping hot cup of cocoa, put on some Christmas movies, and just relax.
