burnt cookies and unexpected tears
by duckie | Mar 21, 2025 |
i was helping cook in the kitchen today—her last day on the estate. she was baking cookies, kind of a farewell thing, and i messed up. big. i was supposed to pull them from the ovens, but the ups guy started chatting and i got distracted. they burned. all of them. three full ovens of cookies, gone.
i understood the mistake—especially with cook being extra emotional, with everyone leaving and this being her final day here. so yeah, her reaction was totally fair. first came the whacks on my ass with a ladle. then things escalated… she started angrily shoving produce in me—either a small zucchini or a cucumber, honestly not sure which, i always mix those up.
and then—out of nowhere—we both started laughing. and then she started crying.
i didn’t realize how much she’s going to miss this place. miss madam. miss everyone. and the thing is, i’m helpless when a woman cries like that. next thing i know, i’m crying too.
so there we were—me with part of tomorrow’s salad in my ass, both of us crying. she held me for a while. then told me to clean up—myself and the kitchen.
and now? well… i guess it’s a good thing i’ll be alone tomorrow. no one here to force me to eat that damn salad.
duckie, how sweet. But I’m sure Jessica and the others will agree – you need to eat your veggies, even when Madam is gone. Be a good boy!
