Aunt Sue, Baker of Giant Cookie
Party! Aunt Sue would choose one of us 9 (yes, nine) kids to be her sous chef for the evening when she’d baby-sit. My older brother, Matt, stood obediently at Aunt Sue’s side, following every word of instruction. Meanwhile, 8 hungry street urchins salivated from the sideline (a bench that roped off the kitchen).
This time was different. Aunt Sue and Matt pulled the pan out of the oven, followed by a wild roar of excitement that would’ve put the Ancient Roman Coliseum regulars to shame.
It was a giant cookie.
And a giant cookie is every kid’s dream come true.
Matt did the honors of serving each of us a sliced pie piece from that giant cookie and our memories were engraved forever. Aunt Sue has been a hero for many reasons, but that started the shelves of accolades she would achieve–and continues to achieve–in our minds throughout our lives.
Long live Aunt Sue, Baker of Giant Cookie.
