In the midst of those noisy screaming matches, I always told my kids, "Parents don't want fair, they want peace." Apparently, we weren't the only ones wanting a little quiet now and then. After a visit to the Chinese restaurant, I found someone else out to get some peace.
Now let's give this some thought, why would a cookie need sleep? They don't have eyes to see kids tugging over the same toy, ears to hear the "She looked at me cry," or even a sense of touch to feel the wrestling kids bump into it.
Cookies are never up late at night worrying about the kid who missed curfew or even bothered by dogs barking at the squirrels outside. Even a pesky fly wouldn't bother a fortune cookie. I'd say they're dead, but doesn't one need to live in order to die?
Throughout this stressful life, I have come to the conclusion that I will never truly be at peace until someone throws dirt over my dead body. If a dirt nap is the only way to truly be at peace, I guess I'll pass.
Watch the Pink Panther in his quest for peace.
Oh? Cookies do need sleep, do they? Or I wonder if I would need sleep if I turn into a cookie?
ReplyDeleteIf I am what I eat, I might be a cheeseburger. So, do they need sleep?
ReplyDeleteIts the peeps who make the cookies that need a nap.

Must be a tough cookie..
ReplyDeleteAnyway, i guess the idea is that when it all boils down we all do need sleep it over.. Relax and reboot ourselves so that we can be ready to face tomorrow
:0)
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if a cookie needs sleep, but everyone else does.

I guess the crash from a sugar rush makes a cookie sleepy.

ReplyDeleteThat's funny. I love it when I find a fortune cookie that has a message put in from someone with a sense of humor!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Theresa! what a hoot! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI guess peace may be overrated, but a little less conflict might be nice.
ReplyDeleteThe wisdom of fortune cookies abounds and that one, in particular, is golden.
ReplyDeleteNot sure about the cookie, but anyone with kids sure needs some peace!
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere that parents do not need justice they need peace and quiet. I agree completely. Love to read your posts. Keep sharing. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYou're right peace is hard to find while alive, although I have not had the alternative either. Take care of your cookies and they'll take care of you.
ReplyDeleteLOL that is one tired cookie! Peace ... that elusive thing, more elusive than Pink Panther
ReplyDeleteI loooved pink panther when I was little. I even had pink panther pink lemonade juice boxes! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha! Poor Pink couldn't get some descent rest and peace if he tried!
ReplyDeleteI know, once you have kids...there is always something to worry about and disturb our "peace." But, we can still find those calm moments now and then if we try!
