b was in a bad mood for, like, five days straight. a finance midterm and an accounting final will do that to some people i guess.
no problem, really, because most of the time he'll just shut himself up in our little office and leave me to sew / watch tv / read / bake. however last week he started taking his aggression out on ME which is not okay. don't worry, he wasn't beating me or anything -- he was just snapping at me for no reason and being bratty overall.
enter my mom. she is famous for making the world's best sugar cookies [i have the recipe, but have never made them...i'm sure they wouldn't be as good] and she makes them in different shapes / colors for every holiday. and sometimes she mails me a box of them when i live far away. she is the BEST.
last week we got a little box full of halloween treats from mom including five sugar cookies. b and i decided that meant we each got 2 1/2 cookies and not a crumb more. my share was gone in about...oh, two hours. b is the type that's not addicted to sugary desserts [puh] and easily saved his for a few days.
sunday he was being particularly bratty and went to our room to take a nap. i was mad at him and had to make dessert for dinner at the in laws and i was tired TOO, so i was a little cranky myself. then i saw the box of sugar cookies on the counter with one left. what did i do? ate half of his only remaining cookie. mwahaha. it was delicious.
he didn't notice until monday and i had to confess. he just laughed at me. yesterday he got the not-so-hot results of his accounting test back and IM'ed me to say he was in a bad mood again. this was the following conversation:
L: sorry :( don't worry, you'll be ok
B: i know, it just sucks
B: i'm in a bad mood
B: but i won't take it out on you
B: cuz you'll eat my cookie again
HAHA. yep, that's your punishment if you do something wrong in my house. watch out for those treats.

Dude, I eat dessert so fast...I'm not worried about my cookies at your house. But I love the way you made B pay for his bad mood. Way to show him who's boss.
That's when you know your marriage is built on friendship...when you can laugh about it later. haha. And dude, I tooootally want one of your mom's cookies!
GAH! funniest story ever.
B is still my favorite of the day though... Just tell him he is slipping close the unfavorite if he doesn't shipshape up.
Yes. Unfavorite IS a word.
Hahaha! What a cute story!! At least everyone knows the punishment for crabbiness now. I think we should use that policy in our house, too. :-) Sorry about B's rough days - it'll get better!! And I'm with Dana, I really want a sugar cookie now.
So funny. I'd probably do the same thing and eat his precious cookie too :)
that is the funniest story ive ever heard/read. love it!
