Ways in which I differ from my sister, as made apparent in last night's phone call

We both bake for the holidays, but...
She -
Lets her kids lick the beaters.
I -
Cut off the end of the store-bought roll of cookie dough for My Kid.

She -
Sends her kids out to the neighbors distributing the holiday goodies.
I -
Gave cookies to my favorite Starbucks barristas.

Her pre-teen son-
Was sent to town with some money for a haircut, and both were satisfied with the result.
My Kid-
Hasn't had a hair cut in six months, and there doesn't seem to be a damn thing I can do about it.

She -
Volunteers with her family at the local food pantry at the holidays.
I -
Am donating shoes to Piperlime.

That's right! And just think of all those people at Pilsbury who would BE OUT OF A JOB if we didn't buy pre-made cookie dough!

Geez, some people have NO COMPASSION.

it'd be one thing if those Pilsbury cookies weren't so damn good! Raw dougn isn't as tasty, but cookies are fine!
