What to Tell Your Daughter

Lie to her and say
that you did not eat
the last cookie.

It's much safer than
admitting you did.

Yes, to lie is a crime,
most of the time
but hell hath no fury
like a cookie-less kid.

I love this.

My HS Western Civ teacher told our class once ( I think explaining Freud or someone) that a kid would kill you for a cookie if they figured out how to accomplish it. Not because they want to hurt you, just because they want that damn cookie.
