Living with Bob and "Al"

Sheri was thinking back to all the times Bob was up in the middle of the night baking/ burning cookies, Sheri was so frustrated to wake up at 1:00 in the morning to the sweet smell of chocolate chips. When Sheri would ask Bob why he was baking at 1:00 am, his answer was always "why not?" Maybe that was "Al" and Sheri just didn't know it? It is not that it really matters now, unless it helps others see early behavior that could signal something is wrong. Of course the kids were always pleased that the cookie fairy had come over night, except for the "over cooked ones" as the label says ;)  but never the less Sheri can't help but wonder.
