Cookie Monsters and Cookie Mothers

Hi there! Hope you're all having a marvelous Monday.

In our office, we have a plate of cookies that we make fresh each morning for our prospects. We offer them after a tour, kind of like a "sweet" goodbye (you see what I did there?) I crack myself up sometimes.

The past two weeks, I have become very frustrated with a mother and her two children. The gym is across the hall from our office, and they visit our gym each day. About half an hour into the mother's workout (she runs A LOT), her two kids take turns darting into the office and taking 3 or 4 cookies at a time. Today, it only took them two trips to clear the plate of 14 cookies.

The best part? The mom encourages it. I was using the gym on my day off and she must not have recognized me because, let's be honest, everyone turns into a sweaty beast when they work out. She turns to one of her kids after they attempted to jump onto the treadmill I was using and said, "Go get cookies! For every cookie you give me, you can have two!" And with that, the girls took off into our office.

Don't get me wrong, I love those cookies as much as anyone else. But isn't eating cookies while working out a little counter productive?

Thanks all, folks.
