Bells. 

I have never enjoyed a family game as much as this one. I don't remember
how many cookies I ate then, but I enjoyed every one. 

Of course, there was that time when I had to pull my ticket, then go up,
and ring the Jingle Bell, which cost me my next cookie. But I needed to 
keep the ruse moving to collect some more cookies. 

Nobody makes better cookies than The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage.
I tell her that all the time, and once in a while, she will give me a 
cookie when I say it. But only one. 

Finally, the family time was over, and everybody had gone home. The
Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and I sat in the living room smiling 
about our wonderful time. I looked at her and said, "We have a 
wonderful family and it was a great time tonight." 

Looking at me, The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage said, "You did not
eat any of the Christmas cookies tonight, did you?" 

I was unsure what she knew, so I said, "I don't think I did." 

Still looking at me, she said, "Then why do you have cookie crumbs in
your mustache?" 

When you're caught, you're caught. 

Later, I thought of a Bible verse in Numbers 32:23, "...be sure your sin
will find you out." 

You will eventually be found out, no matter how careful you think you
are. God knows everything, and we will be held accountable. The best 
advice is to be honest.
