Cookies

How do the people of the world feel about cookies? There is no way to know… but my guess is that most people like cookies. They aren’t just a fad because people are still producing them after all these years. They are the sole reason for girl scouts and a grandma without a cookie jar is just a creepy, smelly person that could die at any moment.
Depending on the variety, I like cookies quite a bit. Sure I would rather have Tiramisu or even a snow cone but if the option is cookie or nothing I’ll take the cookie and thoroughly enjoy it.
Sometimes when I have a manageable day at work I will go to the cafeteria and buy lunch. Then I take it back to my office and continue working. Every now and then I will buy a cookie with my meal. I don’t really keep track but I’m guessing I eat about 3 cookies a month. Without fail my co-worker will comment on my cookie consumption.
“I wish I could eat cookies but I’m on this strict diet Bla Bla Bla Bla Blaaaaaa”
“Another cookie hu? How does your body handle the sugar?”
“When I first decided to give up cookies it was really hard but so worth it”
“Cookies have so much sugar in them. No wonder so many people have diabetes in this country.”
“My daughter-in-law allows her kids to eat cookies like that can you believe?”

I think the funniest part is that she is morally opposed to me eating cookies! Cookies of all things.
