Ah&#8230;what a great time to discuss cookies!
The following story is true.&#160; It would mortify my daughter if she knew I posted it.&#160; My daughter doesn&#8217;t read this blog &#8211; something about a new South Park episode (hmmmm&#8230;) so until she does, please don&#8217;t tell her I told you this story.
