That is what my mother said. Unfortunatley, I wasn't able to listen. I was too busy staring at the cookie jar.
I could smell it. I could smell the sweet aroma covering my nose. I slowly grabbed one...
SMACK!
My mom's hand stopped me before I could grab anything. " WHAT DID I JUST SAY?" my mom yelled. But finally, she did leave the room. And there was only one thing for me to do. I reached out my hand. I was so close...
But I did not hear the creaking of the door behind me.
I really didn't see that coming. Then came the yelling. And the punishment-
" Go To Your Room."
Well, I kinda did. I mean, went inside, but I wasn't feeling sorry like my mother imagined. I was busy with my master plan. Obviously to get the cookies. Here was my plan -
I knew, my mother always takes a nap in the afternoon. Also, my little sister would be asleep too. My dad is at work, so I'll be all alone.And then, I simply grab the cookies. I leave little kid toys in it, so it looks like my sister did it. Then I eat the cookies.
It was a great plan I must say, but, it backfired. Quickly. I crept near the kitchen. I slowly opened the jar and peeked inside. What I saw was unbelievable. All I saw were crumbs and a note that said -
i got the cokies first. linsy.
Ok, I REALLY got surprised. I mean, how did she reach the counter? I didn't even know she could WRITE. She has better spelling than ME. Creak. Oh no. I remember that very familiar sound.
" Hello, my dear, DEAR, daughter."
My mom was MAD. So, I ran away. That was a close one.
Moral Of The Story : Always listen to your parents
GET THE COKIES BEFOR LINSY.
