Some people say we are living in the "new normal." I'm not sure exactly what they mean, and I don't have the time to ask, nor the desire.

one cookie per day." 

Smiling at her, I accepted the cookie and indulged in gratifying my
cookie-itis. And it was wonderful. My problem at the time was, it was 
only one, and it was small. 

I found out she was making these cookies for other people and members of
the family. I tried to tell her that I was a member of the family, but 
she threw a grimace at me and continued baking the cookies. 

How can anybody live on just one cookie per day? 

Later on, I saw on the table plastic bags filled with cookies designated
for some friend or family member. An idea crumbled in my head at that 
time. When my wife said, "one cookie per day," what did that actually 
mean? 

Looking at all the bags of cookies on that table, I developed my own
interpretation and assumed it meant one cookie per day per plastic bag. 
I hope she doesn't catch on to my plan, but I have enjoyed her cookies 
all day long. Remember, I only ate one at a time. 

As I was enjoying my last cookie, a verse of scripture came to mind. "My
little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in 
deed and in truth” (1 John 3:18). 

My words don't mean anything unless it is backed up by what I do. I
think I need to confess my cookie snatching to my wife.
