Chocolate Chip Cookie Thief

Monday Night I was in the mood to bake cookies. Typically I only bake cookies if I have an event to go to and need to take something. But, the other night I was hungry for homemade chocolate chip cookies. So, prior to the KU game, I baked cookies and put them in a tin just for me. It is rare for me to do something just for me. But, it was fun and I ate about 4 cookies throughout the game.

So, each day I've brought cookies in my bag for an after school snack. I am hungry at the end of the day, and cookies just seem to hit the spot this week.

So today was a pretty good day, and after I had all my responsibilities taken care of, I sat down and opened my lunch bag to get my cookies out, AND THEY WERE GONE.

I just sat there.

I've NEVER had anyone get into my lunch bag and take something out of it.

NEVER.

I sat there and replayed my day in my head. I tested students all day, one-on-one, and so the only kids in my classroom were supervised.

Then it hit me.

I had gone down to Mr. H's room this afternoon to ask him a question, and Lostboy was playing alone because noone else would play with him, and I told him I would play with him. I wanted to play "Connect Four" with him because it's a short game and we only had 5 minutes.

I told him to come down here and get the game while I talked to Mr. H. My logic was the fact that my purse was locked up, along with my candy, so I figured there was nothing for him to steal. I know he has a history of stealing, and stealing food is one of his weaknesses.

Herumph.

I never even considered my lunch bag. Not once.

So tomorrow I get to have a little talk with the kid, and it's his birthday.

Say a prayer, I have no idea how to handle this one.

I need to run or I'll be late for homechurch.

Later!
