I know times are tough, but I suspect you’ve got stolen dough in your backpack. I hope you’ll rise to the occasion and confess your crime. (139)

I sent you to the store, so why are you staring at the water? Did you get everything that I knead? (99)

You fed the entire batch of bread to the ducks? I’m gonna punch you down, girl. (80)

No, I don’t think your brain is filled with sawdust. The last time the doctor used his Welch Allyn otoscope, he could only see flour. (134)
