The stench of microwaved brussel sprouts was floating through the air this evening so I told Aline she should bake a cake to freshen the atmosphere. The following conversation ensued:
Aline: You’ll have to buy me a new cake pan.
Steve: Hazel, should we take some money out of your allowance to buy mummy a cake pan?
Hazel: No!
Steve: Hazel, should daddy pay for the cake pan?
Hazel: No!
Steve: Hazel, should mummy pay for the cake pan?
Hazel: Yes!
Excellent.
Making monsters is Dr. Nutt’s specialty. Her best creations are the Yummy Mummy, the Boogie-Woogie Man, and her masterpiece, Dracula-la-la! who loves to sing Opera music. It’s music to Dr. Nutt’s ears, but the villagers don’t like the idea of singing vampires roaming around their town. When they storm her laboratory they are in for a pleasant surprise.
