Making Memories
Bette shook her head. “It smells too sticky sweet in here for me.” She went over to Angie and took away the saucer she was eating from, above Angie’s protests. “What is this?” she asked Tina, holding the small plate out of Angie’s grasp.
“Oh, it’s just a little bit of cookie frosting. Let her have it and be glad I’m not letting her eat cookie dough.”
Bette set the saucer back down reluctantly and got Angie’s cup and filled it with organic soy milk, although she hardly saw the point now. Why be so careful with Angie’s diet when Tina was letting her eat raw sugar paste? Bette tamped down the annoyance rising within her.
Tina saw the look on Bette’s face and laughed again. “She’s a kid on Christmas. She’s allowed little treats here and there.”
“I suppose so,” Bette said dryly. A lot of things were going on lately in the name of “letting Angie be a kid on Christmas” that wouldn’t fly any other time of the year.
“Didn’t your mom ever make you Christmas cookies?”
Bette shook her head. “She didn’t bake. Kit’s mother did, but I never saw her on the holidays.”
“That’s too bad,” Tina said, plopping little mounds of dough on a cookie sheet. Bette peered into the oven. There was a tray already baking, and several cookies cooling on the counter.
“Not to put a damper on the proceedings –” Bette began, watching as Tina helped Angie put more spoonfuls of dough on the cookie sheet, “– but just how many cookies do you intend to make?”
“I don’t know. Lots. I’m going to take some over to Max later.” Tina grinned and blew her hair out of her eyes.
“Pregnant wo–, er, people, shouldn’t really be eating –”
“Babe, it’s fine. Trust me, he’ll wolf them down. My mom ate anything and everything she wanted when she was carrying me, and look how I turned out.”
Bette let that pass instead of making the sarcastic crack that came to mind. “Let’s hope he doesn’t fall into a sugar coma.” Bette muttered.
“Coma, woma, foma, loma,” Angie sing-songed, giggling madly. It looked like the sugar was working its way through the little girl’s system. Bette rolled her eyes.

I’m loving these little sweet treats of yours, omalley! Bette’s snarky comments are hilarious… “a tin full of diabetes”… I’m still cracking up as I write this! Can’t wait for the next one.
Ebenezer Porter amd Max plays the dual tole of the Ghost of Christmas present and future. I have heard that Santa has a third list in addition to “naughty” and “nice.”. His third list is “grumpy” and, luckily for Bette, Tina and Angelica (and Max) got Bette erased from that list. But did she get moved to “naughty” or “nice”? Hmmm. Thank you for your second installment. Please, omalley, I want some more. (Wrong Dickens, but “God bless us everyone” didn’t quite fit these circumstances.)
Teasing Tina=2; Curmudgeon Bette = 0. I do love how you have Bette get into the season at the end of both stories. Kinda reminds me of Oscar the Grouch. He’d be cranky but always there with the last punch-line.My fav curmedgeon Bette line: I was thinking it looked like a tin full of diabetes, but I guess for some, it might be ‘nice’.”I’m so happy to read your holiday stories!!! Thank you so much! Can’t wait till tomorrow… Yeah!
i LOVE THE HOLIDAYS You can make so many memories, that keeps you warn on cold winter nights. Children grows up so fast and go to the four winds and sometime all you have are those memories. thanks

Why, oh why hasn’t Bette learned that she can not win against those two lovely pretties she loves so much.

I swear Bette act as if she just doesn’t consume any calories, but shes addicted to coffee which is bad for you with all the caffeine, im happy in these stories that she always comes to the realization of what’s really important!
Family time! The best!
