That's fine. But don't let this one time stop you from doing it again.
"but I brought up Girl Scout cookies to my daughter, who first said no, but then consented to my leaving them on her desk. "
What do you mean by "consented"? I don't think you realize how much you sound more like her butler than her father. You don't need approval from her to do anything. Same with your W. You're her father. If she's reading a book, go up and ask her how it is. Just talk to her. AND better yet, just go up to her, give her a hug, tell her you love her and that's it.
Stop retreating into the cave of yours.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
