I love the contrasts between my kids. Edwin’s extracurricular activities include Model UN, gardening club, and Energy Masters. Maxine’s soccer season will conclude this weekend, and she’ll audition for her school’s production of 9 to 5 in a couple weeks. In the meantime, she has set her sights on Cookie Club, of which a good friend of hers is the founding member.
She and her friend are whipping up a batch of chocolate chip cookies as I type this. As we drove back from the ransacked Halloween shop this evening after purchasing fake blood and liquid latex for her costume, she informed me that she had to bake cookies for cookie club tonight.
“So, what do you do in cookie club? Make cookies and eat them?”
“Well, that and also sell them. For charity.”
“What charity?”
“I don’t know…breast cancer?” she answered.
Humm. Her heart is in the right place, but I think she needs to find out more at tomorrow’s first meeting of CC (and she better be planning on giving me a cookie).
