Here's how it probably went down...nutbagmcgee wrote:It was a show. She already was eating a cookie when he was all "Here's the cookies, sorry I burned them." Everything they do is an act. Ellie just wasn't having it at the moment.
Jared reviews vlog footage, realised it is dismal- he needs to come up with something quickly at the end of the night. Kids are in bed, Ellie's got no energy.
Ah ha!
Jared offers to bake Ellie cookies, and daft Ellie likely thought he was just being a nice husband.
She gets into bed and waits for her cookies.
Jared trots in making a show, the cookies are burnt.
Ellie thought she was just going to be able to sit in her snotty-sheeted bed and eat her milk and cookies in peace.
But Annoying Husband/Breadwinner has other plans.
He springs a Q&A on her.
Ta da.
I think this is how a lot of the vlog goes - he sets it all up and doesn't tell Ellie what's going to happen so her reactions are somewhat genuine... and bingo
And it worked because people were clicking thinking it was some sort of heart to heart. It wasn't, but there's a possibility this was foreshadowing.
