“Freakin' hybrids man. They just don't do the trick anymore.”

Wednesday, 2008 December 3 11:23 PM MST — Arvada, Colorado UNITED STATES

Okay, life has gotten to the point where it just doesn't seem worth living anymore.

When I was a younger child, my dear grandfather would occasionally come to visit us. When he did come, he wouldn't come emptyhanded. No, he would always come with a package of cookies. Specifically, they were the taffy-flavoured, crème-filled Mother's brand cookies. However, we only had one name for the cookies: they were and are and forever will be known as Grandpa cookies.1

The sad news: Mother's Cookies is no more. They went out of business. There are no more to be sold. My brother even tried to find them online. He couldn't. This means that I can no longer enjoy the taste of soft taffy with crème after it's been baptised in milk. In short, life is no longer worth living.

  1. The fact that they were Mother's brand cookies and we called them Grandpa cookies confused me.

Quote to ponder: “A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand.” — English proverb

Hang in there Dan. I promise we'll find another cookie for you and Nathan, even if it means we have to sample every cookie on the planet.
