My goal will probably always be to learn how to eat two brownies instead of eight.
@annaleen Anything between those two numbers is called "Shame-Free Opportunity!” :)
@annaleen If you cut them bigger, you could get down to two easily. Maybe even one!
@annaleen if one were to cut the pan in half there are only two brownies …
@josh GOOD POINT
@annaleen my students *love*your book BTW so I think we’d all agree you’ve earned a brownie
@josh awwww I'm so glad ... yeah, maybe I should have one more brownie
@annaleen sentient flying moose flavor …
@annaleen it's good to have goals that are forever out of reach. Probably builds character or something.
@annaleen You just take four of those smaller, two-brownie mouthfuls.
@annaleen Many great pro-brownie replies to this, all of which I cosign.
@annaleen just cut them into larger pieces so the volume of two brownies is the same as the original eight?
@annaleen Next you're going to tell us it's possible to eat less than an entire tube of Girl Scout Thin Mints at once.
@jappel oh no I don't think anyone but a deluded zealot would ever imagine that
@annaleen Of course, if you eat two brownies four times, you’ve reached your goal four times.
@dethier well that is a very good observation yes yes indeed
@annaleen If you only slice the tray of brownies once, you'll only have two brownies.
@annaleen find 3 friends and give six away?
@annaleen Don't cut them so small :)
@annaleen *the fae run and hide under the neighbor's rose bushes*
@annaleen My first response to that would be that you are not measuring surface or volume, so…

@annaleen
So little Johnny says: "Teacher, I et 6 eggs for breakfast."

"No Johnny," the teacher says. "It's ate."

" Oh -- maybe it WAS eight that I et. "

@annaleen Aaand I made the same joke everyone else did.

I still think 8 brownies is good. Enjoy! :)
