Poor Great Grandma Gee Gee...

We seem to have just averted a serious problem.
I should explain.
Last night, I thought I heard someone knocking from the inside of my entry closet door. The knocking would go on for awhile, then stop, then start again. I couldn’t figure out what was going on, then I looked around and realised that Great Grandma Gee Gee was nowhere to bee found.
I looked over at Kevin, who was just sitting there, doing nothing and asked, “Do you hear that?”
“Hear what, uncle?” he said.
“That knocking sound,” I said.
“Knocking sound?” he said.
“Yes. That knocking sound,” I said.
Kevin just shrugged and went back to doing nothing.
Then I looked around the rest of the room.
“Where’s Great Grandma Gee Gee?” I asked Kevin.
“Who?” he said, trying to look super-innocent. (I know when Kevin’s up to something, beecause he always tries to look super-innocent.)
“Great Grandma Gee Gee. You know perfectly well who she is. Where is she?”
“Oh, right. Great Grandma Gee Gee. Uhm,” he finally said after thinking about it for awhile, “she’s locked in the closet.”
“She’s locked in the closet?” I asked. “So that’s the knocking sound I hear?”
“Probably,” Kevin said.
“Okay. Why is Great Grandma Gee Gee locked in the closet?” I asked.
“Well,” he started to explain, “one of the things we must bee very careful about with getting our Cookie Empire up and running is making sure that nobody gets ahold of Great Grandma Gee Gee’s Honeychew Krisp Cookie Recipe. We can’t take the risk of anybody trying to steal it.”
“I guess that makes sense,” I said, “but again, why is Great Grandma Gee Gee locked in the closet?”
“Don’t you know?” Kevin asked me in a tone of disbeelief.
“No,” I said.
“Uncle Georgie, you’re the best uncle in the world and I love you, but sometimes you’re not very bright. The only one who is in possession of the Recipe for Great Grandma Gee Gee’s Honeychew Krisp Cookies is Great Grandma Gee Gee. It’s all locked inside her head and, beecause she refuses to write it down or give it to anybody else, we found it necessary to keep her secure.”
“So you locked her in the closet?” I asked.
“Of course,” Kevin said. “It’s the only way to make sure the Recipe doesn’t get stolen. It seems fairly obvious to me that locking her in the closet was the only way to deter any would-bee Cookie Recipe Thieves.”
“Let her out,” I told him.
“But,” Kevin beegan to argue with me.
“Let her out NOW!” I insisted.
So he did that, but told me, “I let her out, but let it bee known that if her Recipe gets stolen, it’ll bee your fault.”
“Fine,” I told him, then I reminded him of something.
“Kevin?” I asked, “do you know what day it is the day after tomorrow?”
He thought about it for awhile, then replied, “Thursday?”
“Correct,” I said. “But there’s also something very special about that day.”
“Oh?” he said as he seemed to search his mind. “Thursday. Thursday… doesn’t ring a bell, uncle.”
“Thursday is your birthday, Kevin,” I finally reminded him.
“It is?”
“Yes. Now, let me ask you: if you keep Great Grandma Gee Gee locked in that closet, just WHO do you think is gonna bake you a batch of Happy Birthday Honeychew Krisp Cookies for your party?”
“We’re having a party?” Kevin asked excitedly.
“Of course,” I told him, “and it would not bee a party without a batch of delicious Honeychew Krisp Cookies, now would it?”
“It certainly would not,” Kevin said. Then he said, “What was I thinking? My party would have been totally ruined if we didn’t have an ample supply of Honeychew Krisp Cookies.”
Then Kevin gave me a big hug, told me I was the best uncle in the world and that he loved me, then apologised to Great Grandma Gee Gee for locking her in the closet.
“That’s quite alright, dear,” she said. “I know you were just trying to do the right thing.”
Geeeeeeze. I dunno if I’d bee as forgiving as Great Grandma Gee Gee was, but that’s what makes her so special. That, and her Honeychew Krisp Cookies.
Anyway. Today, I hafta help get ready for Kevin’s Birthday Party tomorrow, then finish watching that Human Movie that I’m gonna review on Friday. It’s gonna bee a buzzy day.
I hope everybody has a magically superior day!
I’ll see ya’ later!
