"Boys!" Karen Jones called through the door. "Are you finished with homework yet. I just baked some cookies."
"Mom" Graham answered "We just got started - but we could use a snack to keep us going."
Karen Jones opened the door with a big platter of cookies and a couple of 2 litre bottles of soda. "This ought to hold you." she said.

Graham was too busy stuffing cookies to answere. He just grinned.

Graham smiled. His belly was bigger and he was by no means stuffed.
"Those cookies were good but I'm ready
