So.
The next to last batch of cookies was in, and almost done. I had a nature call, and asked my loving husband to take the cookies out when the timer went off.
This he did, and when I returned from communing with nature, I asked him if he started the next batch.
“No.” says he.
“You didn't turn off the oven, did you?” says I.
“Nope, I didn't think you were finished.”
“Good! I'll go do the last batch!”
The last batch goes in the oven, and I set the timer and toddle off back to the computer.
Time passes, the timer goes off. I go down and open the oven. Hmm. Doesn't seem as hot as before. Hmm again – my cookies are mere puddles of goo, instead of the firm chocolatey goodness they should have been.
I glance at the oven control – OFF it informs me.
“ROB!!” I shreik.
Sigh… ok, NOW they're cooking.
Oh wow. A regular Laura Petrie. You actually can sob “Oh, Rob!”
Oh. My. I don’t think I’m speaking to you anymore! :P
Oh gawd, I hope my voice never reaches those octaves…
