Description:
Some how cookies are not of much interest to me but I am pushed to bake cookies once in a while having a head over heels in love with cookie son of mine. As a kid , he used to always finish off an entire packet of biscuits. My mother – in – law used to crib about this to me always. Once I left him with her and went for a wedding. The minute I was back home , she was like ” now , I know why you give him the entire packet of biscuits to eat. He is a super hyper active kid. Very difficult to handle. ” I just smiled and felt happy that she got to know the fact. He does love his cookies and biscuits like before but now he knows it’s not good to gobble up so much at once. I get to see the long lost child like smile on his face when ever a fresh batch of cookies are baked at home. In fact I bake cookies just to see that million dollar smile on his face . That’s what a mother needs the most , to see the long lost delighted kid in your child.
