Again with the cookies. I’m starting to think Five needs a 12 step program. This is not a new policy.
10:00 am the other day and she was already asking for cookies. I, of course, said, “We haven’t even had lunch yet.” Then I remembered that she had also opted out of breakfast. So, I said, “Hey you didn’t even eat breakfast. No wonder you’re hungry. Would you like something to eat?”
(Necessary back story–The adults in our family sometimes fast a day or so.)
Without missing a beat Five replied, “No, I’m fasting today.”
Rrriiight.
“But, Sweetie, if your fasting that means you’re not eating today, right?”
Still without a split second’s hesitation, “Well, I’m not fasting cookies.”
I wonder if this approach would work with my occasional attempts at dieting.
