"When people eat s'mores, I only eat the graham crackers and marshmallow."

I've been known as grandma in the drama class ever since September.

My grand kids often joke to me that I should make them cookies.

Well, I was bored one day and I thought I should celebrate:

1. Having practice end early
2. Permission to go to the midnight showing of Harry Potter

I start to make Snicker-doodles and vanilla was one of the ingredients.

I ponder to myself that when I was younger I tasted the vanilla and I thought it was repulsive.

But since this was PURE vanilla extract, I thought it would taste better.

It wasn't.

So I taste it again.

Still wasn't.

I mean, third time is the charm right?

I gag.

I finish making the dough for the cookies.

Then I see I have to make the cinnamon sugar.

Hm... well I tried the vanilla extract, should I taste ground cinnamon too?

I remember when I was younger Jennifer and I would always make cinnamon toast.

She wasn't there to make the 'cinnamon sugar' so I just put ground cinnamon on my toast.

It was awful... Worst. Toast. Ever.

Of course, I try ground cinnamon.

GROSS.
(Now that I have to draw clothes on, my head looks abnormally large.)

I think I learned my lesson.

It was bad the first time around, not going to try it a second or third time.

I can confidently say I don't like vanilla extract or ground cinnamon.

But, at least my grand kids liked the cookies.
