Take a Bite Out of Mine

Already Been Chewed Cookie Cutters

Live at the Thanksgiving dinner table …

Bob: It’s round three of the VII Annual Turkey Day Supper, where family members face off for the last slice of dark meat.

Tiki: What a rush to see athletes competing at this level. Dad’s making a play for stuffing — ooh, intercepted by Teenage Sister! That’s going to hurt in the morning. Is there even room for dessert?

Bob: Here it comes now. Mom’s using the ABC (Already Been Chewed) Cookie Cutters tactic. She just put out a plate of snickerdoodles with built-in bite marks. Nice!

Tiki: Bro reaches for a gingerbread man without a head — but retreats! He’s been tricked by those ingenious teeth marks! What. a. play.

Bob: Think it’ll be enough to give Mom the lead?

Tiki: Go with your gut.
