Necessity is the Mother of Invention

So yesterday when I arrived at Mimi's, she and Elle were in her son's room cleaning up a little bit. I called out and Elle came running in and dove into my arms (best part of my day, every day). I go to give her a kiss and she has chocolate all over her mouth. I asked her what she ate and Mimi comes out laughing and says "Oh look in the kitchen, I left everything set up for you to see what she figured out today"
I look around the corner into the kitchen and see a child size chair pulled up to the counter and the lid off the cookie jar. Yup, she had pulled the chair up to the counter and climbed up to get herself and her little friend a cookie from the cookie jar. Mimi was in the next room folding laundry and when Elle came into the room Mimi asked what she had all over her face, she looks at Mimi and says "I just wanted a cookie." So that's what she got.
The funny part of this story is that I have been told on more than one occasion that Wade was always the one to climb up on the counter and stick his hand in the cookie jar to get him and his brother a treat.
