No. Instead Ms. B. got a TKO. For those of you not in the know (that was me until the other day), a TKO is a Thomas Keller Oreo, sold at Bouchon Bakery. Even better than my homemade oreos because of the white chocolate ganache filling.
And the reason for the cookie you ask? Was it to butter up Ms. B.? No not at all. Today was her birthday.
I only knew it was Ms. B's birthday because last night, at bedtime, Izzy revealed the birthday wishes he had expressed in the card he had made for her...
Happy Birthday
"I hope you turn into a germ."
Suppressing a giggle I had to ask why he had written that. His reply?
"If she were a germ she would be sick and not at school and then I wouldn't have to do the hard math problems she gives me."
Of course I let Izzy know that those were not the kindest birthday wishes and I suggested perhaps we give her a little something (hence the cookie) as well. But it doesn't end there.
Today, after I gave Ms. B. the cookie, Izzy explained that he had changed the birthday card, which now read,
"I hope you turn into a gem".
Apparently the card also features a rendering of Ms. B. as a robot, along with some other "scientific" scribblings. Whatever the case may be, I hope Ms. B. enjoyed her TKO and "germ" or "gem", had a lovely birthday.
