Charlie knows all about the free cookies from the bakery at the grocery store. He even has this cute way of asking. He will peek around the corner and then say in the sweetest little voice "If you aren't too busy, can I please have a cookie?" The employees of the bakery always think it is cutest thing and we can hear them talk about how cute he is as we walk away. Makes me a proud momma when he is so sweet and polite.
We were on our way to Walmart the other day and Charlie was asking if it was going to be a quick trip or a long trip. Then we had this little conversation:
Charlie: So, we are going to get cheese, milk, soda and batteries. Then we will stop by the bakery and I will get a cookie.
Me: We'll see about the cookie.
Charlie: Okay, we will have to see if the bakery is closed or if they have the swine flu.
Me: Big laugh!
A few weeks ago when we were at Fred Meyer and he asked for a cookie in his usual, cute way, the lady looked at him seriously and said "I am sorry, we are not giving cookies out right now due to the swine flu." Like a 4 year old is going to understand that one. Sounds like a pretty weak excuse to me. Eric and I were talking about how ridiculous it was as we walked by their self-serve olive bar that was completely open for anybody to use and spread their germs all over. Go figure!
