So, we’re watching the Super Bowl halftime show (was it me, or was The Boss a bit winded, and dude, what’s with the soul patch, but I digress), when Kyra helpfully hands Andrew his Rubik’s Cube.
Kyra: Here you go, Andrew, I mixed it up for you.
Andrew (almost too stunned for words): Wha–? KyRA! How could you?
Kyra (innocently, but maybe not): I wanted to help you.
Andrew: Oh, NO! I have to give this kid at school a cookie every time just to solve it.
I had no idea a cookie was the going rate for the Rubik’s Cube solution, did you?

Hmmm… seems like high stakes to me.
And yeah, the Boss was… great, but… old.
I never get cookies when I have to fix Riley’s Rubik’s Cube! I had to actually move his out of Aislyn’s reach because she loves to mix it up & he gets SO upset.
I always just took the cube apart and then put it back together with the colors in the right place.
A cookie would have been a lot less work.
