"Where are the cupcakes?" She didn't sound happy.
She asked him again, "Where are the cupcakes I bought for my birthday party? There were a hundred cupcakes here, and now there are only six, what happened?"
He came in from the other room, "Well, there was this brownie troop..."
"A brownie troop?"
"Well, maybe it was a platoon, I don't know what brownies come in."
"So this brownie 'platoon' has what, exactly, to do with my cupcakes?"
"Well, they were dropping off flyers - "
"Yes, I see the flyer, 'Fourth of July Brownie Jamberoo and Cake Walk Fundraiser.'"
" - And taking donations. Of cake."
"So, you gave them my cupcakes."
"No, I gave them that fruitcake leftover from Christmas!"
"Uh-huh, so, what happened to the cupcakes?"
"It was one of the little girl's birthday, I figured we could pick up some more before your party."
"Well, how many of the little locusts were there?"
"Thirty."
"So, out of a hundred cupcakes, you're telling me thirty ate ninety-four?"
"Yeah, they seemed hungry."
"Well, great. Before I leave for the store, and you ARE paying half, what was the darling birthday glutton's name?"
"Helen, she said."
