I guess the reason that this story has come back to me - was that someone brought in some of those cookies - those Halloween cookies, the ones I think made by Pilsbury. They have ghosts, or pumpkins or something in the middle, you cut the dough and bake them - and bingo - you have sugar cookies with seasonal shapes in the middle. Well - many years ago - Nick was still in Elementary School (he is now in Grade 12) - I was making some of these cookies - but they were Christmas Cookies. I had the Green X-Mas Tree cookies and the Red and Brown Reindeer cookies. I had to bake something real quick for a party they were having at school, as well as at the after-school care. So - I finish baking the trees, and started on the reindeers. I finish the reindeers - and my baking is done - but what about taste testing? No one was home except me and my guinea pig Elmo - who I had been holding on my lap - between putting in and taking out cookies from the oven. So - I grab a tree cookie and a reindeer cookie. I eat the tree cookie first - then I eat the reindeer cookie. As I get up - I notice a crumb on the couch - so - I pick it up and put it in my mouth and start to chew - my thinking was - "Oh look - a "brown piece of the reindeer cookie" fell on to the couch - well - after a couple of chews - I realized that I was NOT eating a cookie crumb - it was an Elmo poo! These little guys leave jelly beans anywhere - any time - but it looked so like a cookie crumb - probably cause it had been squished or something. Anyways - there you have it - I ate Guinea Pig Poo! I have not been able to look at let alone eat any of those cookies since - nor do I allow them to be baked in my house! It took me close to 3 years to even tell the story - cause every time I thought about it - the gag reflex started immediately. I haven't been dubbed Dizzy for nothing! DIZ
