"Don't look at me, Mom," I said. "What would I do with two measly flowers?"

"No take," Fudge said. He was chewing on something.

"What's in your mouth?" my mother asked. Fudge didn't answer. "Show Mommy!" "No show," Fudge said. "Oh yes!" My mother picked him up and forced his mouth open. She fished out a rose petal. "What did you do with Mommy's flowers?" She raised her voice. She was really getting upset.

Fudge laughed. "Tell Mommy!" "Yum!" Fudge said. "Yummy yummy yummy!”
