But as I get older I learn something new every day. My mother never told me not to eat cookie dough (she's a rebel like that), but I often heard that council from other people's parents. At one point I heard the explanation had something to do with raw eggs being dangerous. Well, I've decided that's really just a cover-up. Parents just use that to scare their kids away for a much more important reason. Have you ever noticed how sneaking just a little bit of cookie dough reduces the final number of cookies by a lot? The REAL danger with eating cookie dough is that you eat about 12 cookies worth in 2 big spoonfuls! Now not only do I have less cookies to share with my friends but I think eating 12 cookies at once makes me a pig.
I guess now I know for next time. At least it was good cookie dough! Let this be a lesson to us all, sometimes delayed gratification is worth it because we actually get more if we're patient. Man being adult is tough.
