Stolen
On Friday, I found a surprise package in my mailbox from
Jessica. I was so
excited! Fun Mail Day! But when I opened it, I found 1) A card and 2) Nothing
else.
Upon reading the card, I discovered that Jessica had sent
me delicious cookies handily prepackaged in a freezer bag for easy freezing.
Had she not included a card explaining this I would have had no idea, because inside the box there
were no cookies to be found. But here’s the thing: I had to cut through tape on
every side of the box in order to open it. There is no way a freezer bag full
of cookies just slipped out through a crack.
So it seems there is a cookie thief out there in the post
office. I think it was an inside job, because why else would the cookie thief reseal
the box? Why not just… take the box?
Was the cookie thief taunting me by making sure I got the card? Should I interpret
the resealing of the box as someone saying, “Ha ha! I ate your cookies!” Or was
the cookie thief just afraid that if the discarded box was discovered in the
post office trash barrel, then the whole cookie-thieving-ring would be
discovered and brought to justice?
I don’t know, but I could really use a cookie.
