I was laying (or is it lying??) in bed reading a book when Kyle kindly asked,
"Would you like some Oreos and milk, sweetie?"
Um, is there any better way to my heart than that?
I grinned and without hesitation heartily accepted the offer.
Kyle came back with a plate full of cookies and some milk. Ah, what could be better than this, I thought. Reading, relaxing, and Oreos! I grabbed a cookie and dunked it in the milk, allowing it to get sufficiently soggy before I took a bite---
"OOOh gross!" I screamed.
This is sick! This is NOT an Oreo!"
I looked down at the plate full of cookies. All of them had the "OREO" imprint on them. I was confused. Whatever it was that made its way into my mouth was not an Oreo cookie. Kyle shrieked with laughter. He grabbed the cookie out of my hand and examined it. Then he said,
"I don't believe you!"
Turns out Mr. Prankster tried to pull a fast one on me. He put a Poser Oreo cookie on the plate with the True Oreos and it just so happened the first one I ate was the Poser. I have warned friends that Target's attempt at an Oreo cookie is disgusting. How do I know this? Well, there is an advertisement in Target with an up-close picture of their Oreo wannabes with the phrase "Tastes the same, only much cheaper" --or something like that. So, several weeks ago when my beloved Oreos were priced above the 2.52 limit, I decided to give the wannabes a try. BIG mistake. I kept them in the pantry for Cade because to him a cookie is a cookie. (He calls Oreos "black cookies.") His taste buds haven't matured yet, you know. I guess Kyle decided to put my tastebuds to the test to determine if I really could taste the difference.
I'm proud to say that yes, I reeeeallly know my Oreo cookies.
Also-- FYI-- Only one row of cookies was eaten while Kyle was out of town. That's like a record for me!! He's gone again so we'll see what kind of dent I make in the next batch...

That made me laugh! Thanks for sharing. I am glad you are such an Oreo fan, there is a big difference in the two different cookies. Michelle, you should try buzzagent.com and become an agent, you get to try new stuff and talk to people about it. I have been doing it and I love it. I get to try all these new products!
Your kids are adorable. I've decided that I need to make Oreo's a part of my life. That would be so nice to enjoy a couple of Oreo's at the end of a busy day with two little ones! I'll have to watch for sales! By the way, I'm glad Kyle posts too. You two are so funny. Your kids are so lucky to have you.
I also like that you both post. BTW, it is "lying" in bed. That's one of the few rules I remember from high school. The crazy thing is that the past tense of lie is lay. So, now I lie here; yesterday I lay there. No kidding.
mmm... the cookies look really good. You shouldn't do that to a pregnant momma! I'm glad you came out with Kyle! It was great to sit and chat for a while! Remember Savanna's diaper tonight! :)
