Yesterday while Tom and I were out, something happened at the house. I think it went like this:

Stetson: There's something really neat in that bowl of Halloween candy over there.

Deoji: Those are Girl Scout Tagalongs. I love them, but last time I destroyed a box of them I got in pretty big trouble and barfed everywhere. [ed.: the items in question were not actually Tagalongs, but individually wrapped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.] I'm not going to be involved in whatever you're planning.

Stetson: Suit yourself. [Stetson removes two peanut butter cups and tries to tear them open.]

Deoji: (exasperated) Look, at least take them in the back room by the wastepaper basket. That way they'll think we just took old wrappers out of the trash, not ripped open new ones. [Deoji carries one peanut butter cup to the back room, followed by Stetson.]

By the time Tom and I got home, there were two wrappers in the den, and thirty or so in the back room by the wastepaper basket. The dogs got fussed at, and Stetson urped up a bunch of peanut butter and chocolate later on in the night.
