you are cute, mom. This is clever. Unfortunately, I'd never leave my cookie alone with you and expect it to be there upon my return....
I should have made note of the fact that this is not my creation. I got it from a children's book that the district gave us to use at school. I thought it was pretty cute. Yah, I need to work on the "regret" one.
you are a very wise mother.
