Not only will the child get a tummy ache, he will also learn that, whatever he wants, he can have without any consequences. Too bad if the cookies run out and no one else can have any. Even if the cookie jar falls off the table and smashes to smithereens (like our environment after gas drilling), it's no problem. Mommy will just get another cookie jar. (Our environment, sadly, cannot be replaced.) Like Doug McLinko says, we wouldn't want the gas drillers to get upset. They might leave and go somewhere else. And the little boy with the cookies must have an endless supply on demand, or else, he will stamp his foot and tell his Mommy, "I don't love you anymore!" That would be very bad. That little boy might run away from home and look for a new mommy.Peacegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10098424765852560323noreply@blogger.com
