The cookie monster

The day before Halloween, a perfect day to go visiting. I baked some cookies this morning to bring with me but I wanted cute little plates to put them on, so while they were cooling I went to the store and picked up these:
     Aren't they darling! Imagine my surprise when I came home and found my cooling cookies missing and the husband standing in the mist of it all.
 Those trays were full.....were.

Me: Are you kidding me, where are my cookies?  As I search frantically around the kitchen.
Husband: I thought you left, you were gone.
Me: I went to the store to get the plates, seriously where are the cookies?
Husband: You were gone, I thought those were the left overs.
Me: You're kidding me, right?
Husband: But you were gone, I thought it was sweet of you to leave me some.
Me not finding the cookies: Seriously you ate them?
Husband opens mouth and shows me his soggy crumbs.

Yep, he ate them alright the little cookie monster.

Husband as he walks out the door: Better start cooking some more.

Lesson learned, always make extra.

My husband knows I would kick him in the gonads if he did that.

I love this story and can relate... many moons ago, my mom made some Christmas cookies for my Aunt's party. She froze the cookies, and when she went to thaw the cookies on the day of the party, she found a completely EMPTY cookie tin in the freezer. Yes, my brothers ate the frozen cookies! Boy, was my mom mad!!! Today, we laugh about it.

By the look of those cookies, there is no way that I could have been left alone and not downed 10 of them in 30 minutes.

Andrea said...

I would've been SO mad! LOL

Amy said...

You are one nice wife. My husband would be replacing what he ate.

Very cute plate, by the way!

Laura Marchant said...

Oh no! Next time I guess you have to make a sign to Keep Out!

Rachel said...

Oh no he dinnt! WOW! I mean, that doesn't even look like "leftovers" with that amount!

And please tell me HE baked the second batch?

(My tummy is growling now, ha ha!)

Lisa @ Pulsipher Page said...

that's funny!

Amy said...

Ugh. that has got to be frustrating. I think HE should make the new batch.

Mary said...

Did he seriously eat all of those??? If so, I don't want to be rude, but... I think your hubby needs some sort of cookie intervention.

Serene is my name, not my life! said...

I think our husbands must secretly be related.

He did that to me once.

I still haven't forgiven him. :D

Lady Fromage said...

LOL! I second Mary's cookie intervention suggestion :)

Lesa said...

That is exactly what would happen at my house. I've learned to put notes on things like "Don't TOUCH!" I have a 17 and 12 year ols sons...that says it right there what would happen to my cookies.

Kristin said...

Oh geez!! That's frustrating!! But, something that would totally happen to me. LOL.

Thanks for the follow...following you back!

Kristin :)

First off, major mistake you didn't tell your husband to NOT touch the cookies or his life depended on him following the hands-off policy while you were gone. LOL. Really, my husband is the biggest cookie monster in the world, which tickles me to no ends because I love making him cookies, as well as the rest of the fam. I hope you were able to see the humor in his little goof eventually and saw his packing those cookies away as a compliment of just how good of cookie baker you are. =D

But you were gone!

That is hilarious!
Love the plates.
Did you get more cookies made?

Vanessa said...

I was gonna ask you where was my plate of goodies, but now that I know. You are totally excused. I could see my hubby doing the same thing.

Unknown said...

That made me laugh! I like how he kept saying "You were gone". That is enough reason right there that he should've acted like Pac-Man, right?? Ha! I could hear my husband just repeating and repeating, "but...you were gone".

Saimi, I am so with you about the comments. I LOVE your comments and I love leaving comments. I guess I'm a blog small talker. I do love small talkers, too. I don't like awkward silences. I just am entertained by people who see me holding three watermelons in my arms and a toddler on my head and still proceed to tell me about their goiter...and then Bingo night...and then a recipe for a casserole...and then the movie they saw last night...and then... :)

Melinda said...

Hilarious!! Well, maybe not so funny at the time ... ;0) At least he appreciates your cooking ??? ;0)

Leanne said...

My sister told me all about this post, and she was laughing so hard re-hashing it from your story!!! SO FUNNY!!! I don't think you can ever leave the house again . . . who knows what will disappear next time! ;)

"You were gone" . . . so so funny!

Michele said...

LOL! Oh, no, I can't believe he actually ate all of those cookies! As if you being gone made it ok! Hysterical, and so typically MALE! ;)

He does love his goodies, doesn't he? We miss you guys and Yakima. Russell doesn't like the nursery here as much. I think he is tired of being the oldest now and is ready to move on to primary. And he misses his old teacher Saimi too.
