The Mysterious Case of the Vanishing Biscuits


Everyone knows Allie's feelings about chocolate biscuits. They are her favourite food, without question, and she would only eat them and nothing else if she had the choice! There were so many times when we used to come home to find her sitting on the couch, surrounded by empty packets and boxes (although sometimes she would tease us and put empty packets back in the cupboard!). It's not that she doesn't like sharing them - if you're sitting with her she'll quite happily offer you a handful. It's more that she just can't leave them alone if she knows they are in the house! It's also not always just biscuits - one of the more memorable occasions was when I came home with a friend and knew there were ice creams in the freezer, it being the middle of summer. We went into the freezer to find an empty box of ice creams because Allie had managed to work her way through 8 of them before anyone got home! Far from being embarrassed by this, she was rather proud of herself at this remarkable achievement!
