pop’ S BIG COOKIE ORDER

j e family is gathered around the dinner table.
Bob tells them about his deal with the Vi illage |
arket. He asks his kids for help Paling, the

okies.

Bob: | know I’ve been down in the dumps since I got fired,
but things are looking up now. The Village Market
wants to sell our cookies.

Nicole: That’s great news, Dad!

Bob: We're going to have to bake like crazy over the week-
end. They want 2,000 cookies by Monday.

Nicole: Two thousand cookies in three days? Don’t you think
you’ve bitten off more than you can chew?

Ted: Yeah, you’re going to be running around like a chick-
en with its head cut off!

Susan: Fortunately, there are four of us here. You kids will have
to pitch in too.

Nicole. Sorry, but I can’t. I have to finish Ted’s chemistry home-
work and then I’ve got to get going on my election speech.

Bob: — What’s that about doing Ted’s chemistry homework?
