(Hey, Martin!) For the first and last time. But it fits in with the theme.Īnd kids who don't eat burned cookies are missing out. (Sighing,) Jason, I don't see how that proves anything. And I had to read the part where Jason tests Cam a couple of times before I understood it. Well, except for the "cam" part where she closes her eyes and says "Click!" to remember something. She does, however, convince Jason with her logic that someone else, very near and dear to him, is the guilty party. Who could have stolen it? Cam is not quite fast enough to come up with a solution before Jason runs off to accuse someone else in the lunchroom who has a similar cookie. 8 year old Cam (nee Jennifer) Jansen is having lunch with two boys (how likely is this at that age?*) when one discovers that his chocolate chip cookie is missing from his lunchbox. There is some heavy wear on the corners of the cover and I was debating whether it was worth being relabeled and put back out.
