Brownies? Really?

Okay so this morning, we had a glorious 2-hour delay after being snowed out of school for two days. As it is a Wednesday, I had an NHS meeting that I needed to attend at 9:45. So, at 9:10 I was sitting in my kitchen waiting for my little brothers to be ready (it takes 15 minutes to drive to town from my house, and then anywhere from five to ten to get through the middle school line). As I looked about me, I noticed that there are BROWNIES in the oven, with the timer set for 22 minutes. In complete disbelief, I yelled,"Who's making brownies???"
and added a second later,
"And why?"


For a few seconds, these questions remained unanswered. But then, my brother walked into the kitchen and said that he was making them. Astonished, I again asked why. To me, an elder, and of course, wiser sister, I knew that it must be for some school function or project that he had forgotten about the night before. Unfortunately, those were not the words I heard, what I heard was, "Oh, I just wanted to make them."


WHAT??? Please tell me I did not just hear that. Please tell me that he's just kidding and that he's not going to make me late to a meeting so he can have brownies just because he wanted to make them.


Nope, he did. And as I continued to yell at him because I was going to miss a meeting he shrugged and said, "Well, you could help me." Angered, I replied, "Do what? The pans are still hot from being in the oven and there is nothing that two people can do to make the process go faster than one." He just laughed, and continued to put all of his brownies in a plastic container. Needless to say, we left the house at 9:35, and I completely missed the NHS meeting. All I can say is that I better get a brownie after school!!!
