A husband took his young daughter

A husband took his young daughter to the grocery store with him. In addition to the healthful items on the carefully prepared shopping list, they returned with a box of sugar-laden cookies.

The man noticed the glare of his wife and said, “This box of cookies has one-third fewer calories than usual.”

“Why is that?” the mother asked.

“We ate a third of the cookies on the way home,” he replied.
