It was a tale as old as time: a VCR, a unsupervised child, and a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich. Only this time, something _very_ unexpected happened. How do I know? I am that VCR.

Last night Elanor kept taking these out of the packages. She'd have a gooey half-melted blob in her hand and run up to her sister Veronica, shove it in her face and yell "boo!" Veronica would then say "oh my goodness!" Elanor would giggle and run off, and then do it again two minutes later...
