Chocolate pudding alert

If my mom offers to make you chocolate pudding, be sure you get a good look at the box first. She offered to make me some, and when she brought it to me, brimming with whipped cream, I was appreciative.

Then I tasted it.

"This tastes funny," I said.

Mom looked guilty. "That's because I couldn't find any chocolate pudding," she said. "We only had vanilla, so I put Ovaltine in it."

No wonder it tasted funny. She ruined some good vanilla pudding and some good Ovaltine.

The next time we went to the store, she carried out about 10 boxes of chocolate pudding. If you come over right now, you should be good to go.
