Cookie candle

In college I had a favorite store bought cookie.  I had no idea how vocal I was about it though until some 20+ years later an old college friend tracked me down.  We got together, got caught up on each others lives and reminisced.  Through the course of the day she would suddenly say to me, "Do you want a cookie?"

"No.  I don't need a cookie, thank you.  Hey, do you remember that time . . ."

Fifteen minutes later: "Do you want a cookie?"

"No, thanks.  Remember when we . . ."

An hour later: "Do you want a cookie?"

"No.  I'm good.  Oh!  Remember when all of us  . . ."

After the fourth, "Do you want a cookie?" punctuated with "now" I decided that there was something I wasn't getting.  "Okay, fine, I'll take a cookie."

"Yes!" From her bag she pulled out a box of store bought cookies and presented it to me. 

"Oh, my gosh!  These were my favorite cookies in college!" I said.

"I know!  And that's what I remember."

Which is why this was given to me in college.
