Gabriel and Joelle live with my parents, since bringing
them from a big backyard lifestyle to the big city in their adulthood would not be a good idea. I get a call from Mom last
night that my dad bought three packages of cookies: Chocolate something or other, another something or other, and raspberry
cream shortbread. Gabriel somehow found the grocery bag and got into it when my dad went in the other room.
He pulls out the raspberry cookies and OPENS the package and pulls out the tray. He didn't EAT the
cookies until my dad came back in the room, but he pulled out the tray and waited for him. What a NUT!
Later that night, my mom said, "Gabriel, go tell Daddy to give you a cookie
- you good boy!" He runs (well, at 15 it's more like a saunter) back into the kitchen and puts his nose on the package of
cookies and looks lovingly at my dad - much like the pic of him on the homepage. What a DOLL!
