I’m feeling unusually serious this week, but I’m not in the mood to indulge in that just yet. So instead, let me tell you about the cashier who told me this morning that it was, “Too damn early for me to be tempting her by buying cookies like that.”

“Funny you should say that,” I replied, “because the main reason I’m here is because of those cookies. My child loves those cookies, and so does their mother, and my mother has made it clear to me that I not to even think about having one of those cookies unless I’m prepared to replace the box. so . . . here I am.”
