For The Love Of Oreo Cookies

When I met my husband, he didnt have much of a sweet tooth. He ate what he wanted, and never gained an ounce. Though he thought he was too thin, I have always loved him as he was. While he didnt spend a lot of time eating sugary snacks back then, he did have one that he had to have each night. He was in love with Oreo cookies, and that is something that has stayed with him for the fifteen years that we have been together. He doesnt have them every night now, but he always ends up going back to them.

It is almost something that I associate with who he is. There are things that annoy us to no end about our partners, but we often learn to deal with them in one form or another. There are also those small things that they do that make us love them even more. Seeing my husband standing in the kitchen with four or five Oreo cookies and a large glass of milk always makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Its a small thing, but it is something that has always reminded me that he hasnt changed all that much, even when I feel I dont understand some of the things that he does.

He and I have always differed on the best way to eat Oreo cookies. This really isnt a big deal, and in fact, it often leads to a lot of laughter. Our daughter watches us when we eat them together, which is not very often. She wants to be like each of us. He dunks his Oreo cookies, and I tend to break them up, lick the center, and then dunk the sides. She was confused for a while, and wasnt sure which way she wanted to eat her Oreo cookies. Its not a big deal, but it was fun to watch her decide which she liked the best.

Though I am not big on my family eating a lot of sugar, I dont mind when a package of Oreo cookies ends up in the shopping cart. I do try to keep the amount of them eaten by my daughter to a minimum, my husband often has all that he wants. He has started to wait until she goes to sleep so she doesnt want them each day, but there are times when he simply can not resist having a few right after dinner. Though not everyone loves Oreo cookies, each person has that comfort item that goes with them through life. What are your Oreos?
