How to be a good neighbour, Shannon Style:
1) be in a great mood on Tuesday night. In a fit of sheer goodwill, put little posters on your neighbour's doors saying "Friday is baking day: I'll drop some fresh baked Chocolate chip cookies on your doorstep!"
2) realize that posters are public knowledge, and regard with growing alarm the number of post-its on your door which request cookies. example: " OMG! G210 is lonely! We want cookies too! <3>
4) Have a really blase depressio Friday. Come home feeling not like a good neighbour but a crampy porcupine. Resolve to let neighbours make their own D*mn cookies.
5) Repent of such rude thoughts. Resolve instead to go to general store to buy supplies. You need eggs, brown sugar, and margarine.
6) Drop existing baking supplies on the floor. Grimly add white sugar to shopping list and rent vaccum.
7) Arrive in general store, go to baking aisle.
8) Notice tubes of Pillsbury cookie dough are on sale...
9) Stealthily bake cookies, hiding any evidence along the way. Heavenly smell fills the hallway. Residents follow you like Pied Piper.
10) Deliver cheater-cookies to neighbours. Receive many post-its of thankyous: "OMG! You're so nice! We're not lonely! :P *^_^*"
11) feel alternating twinges of guilt and satisfaction.
Mea culpa, mea mmmmcoookie culpa.
