My Growing Reputation

The other day there was a fire somewhere near our neighborhood, and the air reeked of smoke. I was outside taking out the garbage, and one of my favorite litle neighbor boys came out and asked if I was baking something. I thought that was a strange question, and I said "no, why do you ask?"

The reply?......."Because it smells like something is burning!" and then the little brother comes out and says, "Is your house going to burn down?"

Seriously, why do these boys automatically assume that I am the cause of the smoke in the air? Is it because they spend plenty of time at my house? I suppose sometimes kids just pick up on the strangest things........

I will have you know, that tens of tens of people have been served in my kitchen and most have gone on to live perfectly normal lives!!
