Spoon Fed Favorites

(I am 12 years old. My grandma is making cookies and I am helping.)

Me: “Grandma, can I lick the spoon?”

Grandma: “Oh, no! You could get really sick from that!”

(I nod. She continues to tell me all about how I could get sick. Another cousin walks in.)

Cousin: “Grandma, can I lick the spoon?”

Grandma: “Yeah. Go ahead.”

(Grandma hands him the bowl. I’m still not sure if she loves me more and didn’t want me to get sick, or was saving it for my cousin.)
