To be fair, who really wants to toss their cookies?

That's just what they want you to think.

De Beers would tell you to keep the cookie forever as both (a) an investment and (b) a sign of love, fidelity, and apparently, Victorian hopes and dreams.

Never forgetting that you must upgrade to a larger and shinier cookie every few years or all of the above is meaningless.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You'll clearly need an even better cookie before class.

DeBeers will also tell you you'll need a cookie for your other hand.

You'll clearly need an even better cookie before class.

Which is determined by the four Cs; crispiness, chocolate content, chewiness, and circularity.

Stupid DeBeers! I want my cookie now! I am terrible with dessert-related waiting games of cunning and patience.

I agree with Jesse that I ought to get a second cookie for later.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

DeBeers will also tell you you'll need a cookie for your other hand.

Because of FEMINISM!

Value was so subjective that stones were sorted depending on where they were going, like, the US market values these characteristics so we'll send them these kinds of diamonds, Japan values this, so we'll send them these, etc.

As I recall, pearls are sorted in a similar fashion.

I like diamonds. Wouldn't buy them new, though.

Nora, obviously you're an independent modern woman who NEEDS a second cookie. I mean, really. If you're going to stand up for anything in this world, it's a right-hand cookie.
