I was in the living room, Archer in the kitchen, E and Shelly in my bedroom. I heard the word "COOKIE!" said enthusiastically, loudly, coming from the kitchen. Later Archer said he was thinking about Cookie Monster. It was the first thing I thought of when I heard him say it, he was impersonating Cookie Monster and he sounded just like him. I'm not really sure what triggered Archer's "cookie!" since we have NO cookies in the house, but get ready...
Pitter patter pitter patter come the feet, E ran from the bedroom to the kitchen, I'm sure his eyes were wide as he tried to find the treat that had been so joyfully announced by his older brother. "Can I have a cookie," he asked sweetly, all the while probably expecting Archer to share his prize. Archer said he didn't have any (E probably didn't believe this AT ALL and was still wondering how he could get one). I tried telling Elijah there are no cookies, at which point Shelly came in asking about cookies. There was some general chaos as we all tried to tell each other we wanted cookies, there are no cookies, Archer sounds just like Cookie Monster, we came to the kitchen to find a cookie but there aren't any, where did the cookies come from and who ate them all? I still didn't get a cookie!
The whole thing began and ended in just a few short minutes and left me laughing, while the younger two were disappointed and feeling like they missed out on something Archer had enjoyed. So, a certain way to cause complete pandemonium in a house full of kids... just announce "cookie!" and watch what happens next!
