Context: Schmitty is in Cookie's apartment to help him move, mostly to get things Cookie doesn't want anymore.
Schmitty: Hey, you mind me checking your closet?
Cookie, lying on his bed from box moving soreness: Sure...
Cookie, getting up: No-wait! I can do-
Schmitty opens the closet, only to reveal an assortment of a particular brand of plushie.
Schmitty:...Are those Squishmallows?
Cookie, lying on the spot: They're not mine. They are my sister's.
Schmitty: I thought you said you were an only child?
Cookie, knowing full well he doesn't have a sister: My mom got busy in the time since i told you that.
Schmitty: If they are your sister's; why are they in your closet?
Cookie, still not willing to admit he collects Squishmallows: She always brings one whenever my mom asks to babysit her and she always keeps forgetting them, so i put them in my closet and i keep forgetting that they're in there so they keep pilling up!
Schmitty, pointing to Cookie's bed: So why is one of them on your bed?
Cookie, slightly freaking out that he forgot one while he was stuffing them in the closet: My....sister gave it to me for my birthday...and i can't throw it away because if she realizes that Hans isn't in my house, she'll start crying and be convinced that i killed him and it would make my mom very angry if she found out that i made my sister bawl her eyes out when babysitting her.
Schmitty, not buying any of it: So why do you keep "Hans" on your bed?
Cookie, taking Hans from his bed and showing it: Because he makes for a really great pillow, plus he's seen every movie ever and loves pudding!
Schmitty:...Y'know if you collect them-
Cookie: I read the tag, for washing instructions i swear!
^ Now now Cookie, there's no shame in it. Squishmallows are all the rage these days. TikTok keeps trying to convince me to buy bunches of them!
Cookie can certainly fib, but he should know better than to lie to a lie swatter!
