Just Following Directions

 

 

My wife is a by-the-recipe baker. But that attention to detail still hasn’t made her chocolate chip cookies taste any better. One day, after the cookies had been in the oven a while, I smelled a familiar odor. "They’re burning," I shouted.

"I know," she said nonchalantly.

"Aren’t you going to take them out?"

"No. They still have six minutes."
