There was no ice cream in the freezer because it was all over the counter, the floor, the kitchen table and the faces of Tommy and his cousins Bailey and Elise. Even the AC unit was spattered with chocolate chip and cookies and cream.

“That owl next door kept me up all night,” said Grandpa.
“The ice cream was delicious,” said Tommy.
“All right. Let me have some,” said Grandma. “while I watch all of you clean everything up including your faces!”
