Greetings and welcome to today's random thought.
Today the decision that we made many years ago to have a second child has backfired on me. The wife volunteered to make 4 1/2 dozen cookies for our church so tonight she is making them. She uses the electric beater to mix up the dough and the mixer only has two beaters...
Quickly doing the math, if each kid gets a beater, then there is none for dear old dad. This was not always the case. Up until recently, the daughter had no interest in licking the beater. Now however she is all about getting her own beater. I also used to get to lick the bowl and then the wife purchased some really good spatulas (curse you Pampered Chef!) and so the bowl is pretty clean by the time she is done scraping out the last of the cookie dough. So I don't get a beater and I don't got to lick the bowl! And (to top if off) tonight, these cookies are not even for me!!
Overall, deciding to have a second child was a good decision. My daughter has brought me much joy during her life. Tonight however, as I watch her stroke her tongue all around the crevices of the beater...
Well anyway, I might have to make a Kroger run for some cookies tonight after the kids head off to bed.
Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
Jon
