  11. So there were these mini blueberry muffins that had just arrive from the grocery store, to my kitchen counter. There were about 15 or so in the box, and I took one out and ate it with some cold 2% milk. And it was delicious. So I had one more, then another, then some more. I realized I had to stop because then there wouldn't be a fair amount for the rest of the family, and everybody should equally enjoy blueberry muffins.
