My dear daughter said "Why only 10 muffins?"
It won't be enough for the whole family.
Pity her also....she will be having her exams tomorrow and
deep inside my heart, I know that it is not enough (my son, daughter
and I will be bringing to college, school and work respectively) and
not forgetting my dear husband.
Aaah! will make more after dinner tonight to satisfy all four of us.
