On cookies
After school today, I decided to shimmy over to the White Hen on Chicago Ave, and make a purchase. As I was walking to the store, I observed a 40ish fellow in a conservative suit, long beige coat and a hat like you would see in the 40's, or on top of Jack Abramoff. He didn't look very fun.
I went into White Hen and forgot about him. When I was waiting in line, I looked around and saw the very same man standing in line beside me, his right hand clutching one of these cookies:
If I was going to guess what kind of cookie that guy eats, I didn't think it'd be one of those. He looked boring, bland, kind of boorish. I had him pegged as an oatmeal cookie guy. Oatmeal cookies are cookies for people who don't want to have any fun with their cookies, like that guy. He didn't look fun. Once again, it shows how very little perceptive skill I have. I bet he's a regular old clown normally!
This isn't to disparage oatmeal, mind you. I love oatmeal. It's one of my favorite breakfast foods, or snacks even. But oatmeal in cookie form? No thank you. Know what's worse than an oatmeal cookie? An oatmeal raisin cookie.
Every so often, I will think I am buying a chocolate chip cookie, but in reality it's an oatmeal raisin cookie. When that happens, I make a face and throw the cookie in the garbage. With the price of cookies nowadays, that's usually a waste of $1.50. Everyone is complaining about the rising cost of gas. I want to know why cookies are so damn expensive. With the way things are going with these cookie prices, Mrs. Field probably owns her own private island.
The worst part about this is that White Hen didn't even have what I needed. But at least it gave me an excuse to write about cookies.

Maybe he was buying it for someone else... like a sick kid.
