I took the three oldest kids to church today while Jean stayed at home with Seth. When we got home Jean wanted a report of what they had learned during Primary. Danny mentioned that each student in his class got two cookies. Danny ate one, but decided that he didn't like them all that much so he passed the second cookie along to Rachel. Rachel didn't need to taste it to decide that it wasn't worth eating so she gave it up to Aaron who, upon receiving the third-hand treat, gobbled it up.
So that's the pecking order - a carnivore at the top of the food chain that eats his fill and leaves leftovers for the herbivore. The herbivore isn't interested in eating the remains so she bypasses it all together after which the scavenger comes along and makes a snack of it.
With our undying love of treats, Jean and I were still curious - we had to find out what type of cookie Aaron ended up with. Half way into describing the cookie Danny asked Jean "What are those white little sticks that taste like coconut?" Jean answered "Umm, coconut?" "Yeah, " Danny replied "that was it. Coconut." Turns out they were Girl Scout cookies, Samoas to be exact.
Mystery solved.
