"OH MY GOSH !" squealed Queen B.
Teenage son #1 comes running in the kitchen.
"What happened mom?!"
Queen B can't talk. Her mouth is full. She just hands her son a muffin using hand signals to indicate that he should try one.
"mmmmm" said son #1.
Son #2 enters the kitchen....... grabs a muffin and takes a bite.
"When are you going to make these again ? " He said, staring at 20 muffins still left on the platter.
Son # 2 finds son #3 and hands him one..."Mmmmmmm" he said.
Daughter is sitting next to Queen B and said hers was 'yumma-licious'.
