Evie has become somewhat dessert obsessed lately.

As part of this obsession, she has developed some sort of super-6th-sense about dessert. It’s kind of not her fault. Everybody is always trying to sneak dessert all around her. She kind of has no choice but to be suspicious. But even still, she amazes me with her powers of dessert perception.

We hid some cookies on top of the fridge where she couldn’t see them. Shortly after, we sat down for dinner. She knew instantly that there was something different in the room. About 2 seconds after she sat down she said, “What’s that over there?” “I don’t know,” replied Sara innocently. “It looks like cookies.”

Again, this is not necessarily her fault. I don’t know how many times I’ve stuffed something in my mouth as she came into a room, before she could catch me. Apparently I wasn’t being all that stealthy.

Evie: “What do you have in your mouth? What are you eating?”
Sara: “Nothing.”
Evie: “I smell something. I smell…cookies!”
Sara: “Maybe our neighbor was eating some.”
Evie, still suspicious: “Yeah, I guess so.”

So don’t try to pull anything over on her, especially if it involves cookies.
