"Those cookies are for my cake?! I don't want my cake to be more sugary! I want it to be healthy. So can I have some of those cookies now?"

Happy Belated Birthday (And Belated Sugar Rush)
So the Gremlin's week has been full of late presents, the culmination of which came on Wednesday. The Gremlin received Allen Brothers' Cheesecake Oreo Brownie from his Uncle Thompson.
Upon receiving it, the Gremlin ran in circles through the house yelling, "Oh, thank you Uncle Thompson, I love you so much!"
It was an unfortunate blow to the Gremlin that it came frozen. To kill time, the Mother of the Gremlin took him to Green Lake where the Gremlin used another present to scoot around the path.
At each mile marker, the Gremlin would stop, turn to the MOTG and shout (as on his bike he is now faster than her), "Momma! Is my cake unfrozen yet? We need to get home before Daddy eats it all!"
When it finally did become unfrozen, the Gremlin would not eat it.
"Nono, we can't eat it! We have to wait for Uncle Thompson!"
"Buddy, he's not here."
"Yeah, but he sent cake!"
"Right, but he's in Chicago."
"But he sent cake! Why wouldn't he come over for cake?!" It took us four hours to convince him that Uncle Thompson just sent the cake as a present - that he wasn't coming to visit (during which time we were sadly not allowed to eat the cake)

Brownies!
The Mother of the Gremlin usually picks up either the ingredients to make a treat
over the course of the week, or some sort of mix
. Then she and the Gremlin spend a few hours cooking and making themselves sick on sugar (which is LOTs of fun for Daddy to come home to).
The Gremlin, being party to most of these trips to the store, asked to make brownies last week. The MOTG thought about it, but was a bit busy, so she tried to put him off.
"Buddy, let's make them tonight, okay?" The Gremlin looked up at her.
"No, momma, before my dad gets home."
"Buddy, we're doing to make them tonight, I'm busy right now."
"No momma! It has to be before my daddy gets home!"
"Why does it have to be before he gets home?" The Gremlin glared at the MOTG.
"Mom, I know about the cookies." He took her blank look to mean that she needed a reminder, and the Gremlin stormed off to his room. The MOTG - having just been stomped out on by a 3 year old - was still standing in surprise in the kitchen. The Gremlin walked over so she could see him and slammed his tiny hand on the table.
"This is what I'm talking about. THIS!" He pointed emphatically and put his hands on his hips. The MOTG walked over to the table to find the empty Break and Bake package she and I had finished off the night before, and put in the trash already.
