Cookie Conundrum

I've been told I'm a brat.

When presented with a container of cookies, containing some whole cookies and some broken pieces, I'll take one of the whole cookies, even if I only want a small piece and end up breaking it off (leaving more cookie pieces).

But it's not my fault! Whole cookies taste better than cookie pieces. (Although cookie pieces still taste better than nothing at all, which tastes better than broccoli.)

I think it's because the cookie fragments increase the surface area to volume ratio, increasing the rate of loss of fresh-cookie-yumminess (a proper scientific term, of course).

I also think that more people should bake and share cookies. How would I go about lobbying to get a date set to national cookie day?
