That’s the Way the Cookie Crumbles or The Bubbemeise
The dog, Buster, says, “What are you eating my food for? You’ve got some nerve! How about me? Come on buddy, share!”
The boy, Jason, says, “What d’ya think? Do I look beautiful?”
Jason’s eating; Buster’s not! Buster’s waiting for a cookie.
Jason had smelled delicious chocolate chip cookies. He thought, “Am I gonna get caught? I took a whole carton of cookies. And I poured myself a drink; I’m not supposed to.”
Next, his mother comes in. They’re gonna have a fight. No, his mother will ask for a cookie. Most of the cookies are left in the carton.
Then, Buster jumps on Jason’s head. “OY VEY! Lovely hairdo!”
Buster says, “Rouff!”
Jason has got a tear in his pants. He fell when he was chasing a ball and got a skinned knee.
“That really hurts. I know how that feels because it happened to me.”
But the dog didn’t know that happened.
His mother is mad. He’ll give her a cookie. That’ll smooth things over.
The dog has an excited look; he’s hoping for a cookie. Jason is pretty good; he has a white shirt and no stains. That’s because he’s just getting started. They’re both happy: the dog thinks he’ll get a cookie, and the boy thinks he’ll get away with it.
