I'm Mrs. Oh My Gosh That Brittny's Shameless

How The Cookie Crumbles

There are a few things in life I don’t joke around with.

Food is one of them.

When it comes to sharing dessert?

You’re so on your own.

Envision a wild lion preying on an innocent gazelle. When I eat and/or share a dessert it tends to be a little Animal Planetish. Full of raw carnage and inappropriateness.

Oh- and if you’re not careful I might accidentally spear you with my fork.

All in good fun, of course.

So I was quite surprised today when my dear husband- who has been speared and gorged out of many a dessert in our marriage- “accidentally” ate our last box of Thin Mints.

Girl Scout Thin Mints.

Girl Scout Thin Mints that are sold only once a year Thin Mints.

And proceeded to pretend as though it was truly an accident.

“I forgot we were going to share the last box! Honest!”

Honest!?

HONEST?

HA! I invented the “honest” ploy! Trust me- that’s the oldest one in the book!

Not only that. but he also opened our last box of Tagalongs and already ate an entire row.

Thank God I was able to salvage the rest.

There are some things I take very seriously.

Desserts are one of them.

My advice to Will?

Sleep with one eye open, dear. There are few things that push me over the edge-

and Thin Mints are one of them. 

It’s girl scout cookietime here - I just bought 6 boxes of thin mints on Sunday.  I need another 4 to get me through the year but I only had $21 dollars (and they are $3.50 now - and the boxes are smaller too).  I’ll try to get my hands on some more so I will be well stocked for your visit.

Oh SNAP!  Thats so not cool.  This is one of the reasons why we don’t usually buy gs cookies...just one less thing to lead us to couple’s counseling!

You have girl scout cookies already?!  I hope that means mine are on their way…
There is often a race to eat them at my house.  B/c you know if you don’t eat them fast enough, the other person will get them all.  And an entire year is a long wait for tagalongs again....mmmmmmmm.
One year I actually kept them at my office for a while before bringing them home.  Shhhh, don’t tell anyone.

I take desserts very seriously, too!!!  We’re twins in that respect.  I’d have made my husband find someone selling more Girl Scout cookies in front of a store somewhere to make up for the damage he’d done.  Seriously.  There’s no excuse!  I HATE sharing desserts, too.  The only person I can even partially stand doing that with is my husband.  But even then he knows better and we usually don’t grin But I actually get upset when we go out to dinner like with his parents, and they don’t order dessert, and then want to “try” some of mine.  Ticks me off.  I think I have a problem…

Canadian Girl Guide cookies suck compared to yours.  Normally, I’d say we’re superior (lol) but not so when cookies are concerned.  I *would* ask you to send some my way, but I KNOW I’d be breaking the cookiecode.....I’ll just have to find a way to smuggle them through Customs next time I’m in the US.  Haha

The ONLY person I’ll let share my dessert is DH, but if he doesn’t leave me the last bite, there will be hell to pay! smile

That is so wrong!  Craig would also be severely injured if he dared to eat the last box!

Geesh!  You have your cookies?  We ordered ours not long ago!!

JEALOUS!

My advice for Will?  Hit him!!! :D
