MawMaw's Secret

Something’s wrong with Mawmaw! The last batch of her yummy chocolate oatmeal cookies were super hard…like a bag of rocks. A casserole she brought over could only be identified as gross mush. And the birthday cake she made for Mom tasted like yucky burnt pickles and farts. But Mom told you to mind your manners and made you eat it anyway—ew! And that’s not all. MawMaw stopped her weekly phone calls. And when she did call again, she said weird stuff, like she was a character on a TV show. And worst of all? She totally forgot your birthday! Yeah, not even a card! Enough is enough. So, you hatch a plan with some of the other grandkids to figure out what’s going on. Here it is: ride bikes to MawMaw’s neighborhood after the streetlights come on, ditch the bikes in the park, and then sneak into her house through the backyard. What will you find over there? She doesn’t seem to be hurt…just acting…weird…so what is MawMaw’s secret?? One thing’s for sure: you came to chew gum and solve this mystery, and you’re all out of bubblegum.
