Mmm, cookies

(Scene set up...Mom is in her bedroom. James is in the kitchen)

Mom: Where did you get that cookie?

James: From the cookie jar.

Mom: Why didn't you ask?

James: Because you weren't there, so I couldn't ask.

Dad: Good logic.

(Matthias learned to sign cookies this afternoon and has been continuously asking for one. He also just received 25-30 fire ant bites. He is a tough kid.)
