Sweet Tooth

One morning while mom was in the kitchen she yelled out for my older brothers and sister. "Alice, Greg, DJ and Reggie, please come here into the kitchen."
You could tell she was upset about something. "Now I want the truth, who ate all the cinnamon rolls that were suppose to be for breakfast? "It wasn't me", replied Alice. "It wasn't me, I didn't even know we had any cinnamon rolls", replied Greg. "Sure Alice and Greg you two always eat up all the good snacks" said DJ. "Be quiet DJ. You don't know what you're talking about", Alice said angrily. "What about you Reggie? Did you eat the cinnamon rolls?" asked mom. "No" answered Reggie.

One thing; that person must confess", said mom as she walked out the kitchen.

There was silence in the kitchen for a moment. Then Reggie said "Look, if I don't get to go trick o' treating tonight you three are going to have a hard time explaining to your friends why you were eating teeth instead of candy for Halloween. So somebody needs to say something about what happened to those cinnamon rolls". DJ liked pretending like he was a detective. He walked over to the counter where the cinnamon rolls were left. "Let's see if there's any finger prints on the plate. I don't see any finger prints just this stepping stool that Alice and Greg have to use to reach for stuff on the counter." "DJ, I stopped
