Do those raisins have legs?

I’m laughing so hard… this could be either of my beautiful children. Thank you RT.

What a nice, sweet Bakery Lady! I hope she doesn’t hold Alice’s ill manners against Madeline! (I like raisin cookies!)

Pernickety Alice?..eat the cookie it was a gift you didn’t deserve in the first place.

LOL! “That’s what we love about children… they’re so honest. They tell the truth.” ~ (Remember that Bill Cosby routine? “You told me not for to take the cookie”)

Alice you are just too funny…you blew the bakery lady’s mind…lol

Though you may act like one, you’re no baby, Alice.

She’s got a point, but yep she’s rude!

“Is she talking yet?” Hah! Does she ever stop?

Wow, this is accurate. The embarrassing memories are coming back.

Panel 3: Madeline regrets not putting her foot down before they left the house.

Love it!

Classic Alice. The cookie lady will have a story to tell when she gets home. I prefer spinach in my cookies.

In the last panel Alice looks like a red-haired Uncle Fester from Charles Addams. Scary.

alice is a wonderful piece of work

The bakery lady should have given her a Snickerdoodle cookie. They’re hard as rock and can keep Alice chewing for awhile.

I’m with Alice on this one. Dried fruit is wrong in all forms (OK, Craisins aren’t too bad), and raisins ruin anything they’re added to. It was best said in Benny and Joon – raisins are “humiliated grapes.”

Raisins are gross. They look like dead flies. And they’re way too sweet and stick in your teeth. Ew.

I like how he signed the cake!

I love raisons soaked with my vanilla in my breakfast bars. Now that I have them daily I am incorporating even more stuff in the bars, but they are best with oatmeal, hulled sunflower, milled flax, plenty of chopped walnuts and a good solid whole wheat flour with extra wheat germ and a good 4 T of cinnamon.

A touch of peanut butter is delicious in them also.

Well, I for one appreciate Alice’s comment. After all, raisins are dead grapes…
