101. I bought two packages of cookies yesterday

Thu Apr 24, 2014, 04:27 PM

Apr 2014

both had pecans. I offered one type cookie to my son's girlfriend and when she asked what kind. I told her that they were chocolate chip with dark chocolate and pecans. She said, "no thanks, I don't like pecans". Then I offered her one of the other cookies I had. They were a shortbread with one side dipped in dark chocolate and nuts sprinkled on top. I did not tell her the nuts were pecans. I showed them to her and she said "those look like peanuts, I like peanuts. Thank you." She took one and went to her room.

A short while later, she came into my room and asked me if I had anymore of those cookies and I handed her the bag. Today the cookies are gone. I only had one. I guess she doesn't like pecans as much as she thought she did.
