Dang it James you are making a mess!
I told you mom I won't get it on your dress.
Keep the batter off of the grout!
Mom I'm right here do you have to shout?
When you're dropping the cookies, uniformity is key!
Mom, why won't you just let me be.
Only twelve fit on the sheet no more than that!
Will someone please hit me with a baseball bat?
When they brown at the edges, they are all done!
I'm starting to realize this isn't that fun.
I'll be right back, I need to arrange my wreath!
Will somebody please pull out my teeth?
When you remove the tray go nice and slow!
Oh great, twelve down one hundred and thirty to go.
