Day Off

On my days off, I hang out with Maddy. She is just learning about self discipline vs. instant gratification. As I was reading her a story about a child making cookies, she decided she really wanted to make cookies, too. Usually, my answer is "no" to such requests, but since I had the time and since I rarely bake cookies, I decided to agree. So we climbed in the car and went to the store for the ingredients.  I feared that Maddy would change her mind after going to the trouble of driving to the store and buying everything. I was sure I would be left making cookies by myself. She actually stuck it out and even helped me frost them.
