Cookie Monster

So I was watching TV the other day in the living room while eating some oatmeal cookies. Now mind you that the cookies I was eating were very crunchy (just the way I like it) and of course causes quite a mess. My litter sister walks in and looks at all the cookie crumbs on the floor and points at me saying "cookie monster!".

So with that story, keep munching on your favorite cookies!
