Resistance is futile
I walk into the Computer Room with a few Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies [1]
(thinking ahead last January, I bought a gross and froze them). Spring [2]
had the look of a predator sizing up some unfamiliar prey; she's been
following the Atkins Diet [3] and I could see her trying to calculate the
carbohydrates.
“Do you want some?” I asked, munching on a Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookie.
“That's a trick question,” she said. She wanted some, but didn't know if she
could have them.
“Hold on,” I said. I went back to the freezer, pulled out a box. Serving
size: 4 cookies. Total carbohydrates: 20g. “Five grams per cookie,” I said,
putting the box back in the freezer.
“I'll take four!”
Heh. No one can resist Girl Scout cookies.
