Lumpyhead's teacher once gave him an iced sugar cookie, and now he refers to such baked goods as a "Miss Beth Cookie." I do not mix, roll out, cut, bake, ice, then festively decorate cookies at my house, so Lumpyhead does not get these cookies very often. (Since the initial introduction and subsequent constant mention of Miss Beth Cookies, I think we bought him one once. Poor deprived boy.)
I stopped by the bakery at lunch today, just to "see if anything looked good." As if. I ended up back at my desk with a $4 fudge-covered brownie in addition to my less-than-sensible lunch.
The bakery also had a pretty display of Miss Beth Cookies, so I bought one for Lumpyhead to assuage my guilt.
But here's the thing.
1. I'm not going straight home tonight. I'm going to Happy Hour first.
2. I don't want to cram this beautiful cookie into my briefcase - where it could get broken. And I'm taking the metro to the Happy Hour location, so I can't just carry the cookie carefully to my car and leave it there.
3. After approximately 36 square inches of fudge-covered brownie, I'm starting to eye that damn cookie a bit too lustily.
So. Internet:
Can I eat the cookie?

Heck yeah. Baby #3 needs a Miss Beth Cookie, too.
Disclaimer - I am doing Weight Watchers so any mention of cookies or fudge covered stuff makes me mean.
No. Leave the cookie at work and bring it home tomorrow.
I hate Me on a Diet too.
Heck yes - eat it! You don't want to contribute to the rise in childhood obesity, right? (That's how I justify stealing my son's halloween/easter/goodiebag candy. Yes, I will be rotting in hell when I die.)
Is it gone yet?
Bring it to happy hour and share it with us!!
Em,
Not yet. But I think its status went from "Vulnerable" to "Critically Endangered" about 15 minutes ago.
Dude. Eat it and buy him another one tomorrow.
All's fair in love and pregnancy.
Eat the cookie
Wait, don't eat the cookie
No, go ahead and eat the cookie
Wait, has the cookie been out of your possession at any time? Doesn't matter, don't eat the cookie.
Eat the cookie. Nobody will ever know. Just make sure to brush your teeth before giving Lumpyhead a kiss. I swear that toddlers can smell cookies from a mile away.
Hell yes. He'll never know.
But get 2 for him next time you hit the bakery.
It'd be wrong NOT to eat it! After all, you really should taste test it, before going back to buy him one only if it passed muster.
You do need to make sure it's not poison after all. And when you go back tomorrow to get him one, you will probably need to buy another one of those brownies.
Yes, but then you need to buy Lumpyhead a beer.
I hope you ate the cookie! But I am evil like that.
None of the above. Send the cookie to me. I will look after it... Muahahaha.
I'll absolve you of the guilt if you eat the cookie. I've got a magic wand all ready for you...
It's probably too late, but EAT THE COOKIE. Lumpyhead doesn't know it exists. You can buy him another one.
