I had been begging Mom for days to make some of her delicious chocolate chip cookies. After much persuading, she agreed. She gathered all of the ingredients on the counter top and asked me to wash my hands so that I could help. After following all of her directions, I placed the doughy goodness in the oven. Just as Mom was about to set the timer, the phone rang. Not wanting to answer it, I darted outside to make sure that my dog had plenty of water. When I returned, the smell of the tasty snack made my nose tingle. Noticing that my mom was still on the phone, I plopped down on the couch to watch TV.

Disgusted, I removed them from the oven and threw them into the trashcan.
