Twice As Much As None

Dessert. For me, the very word conjures images floods my mind with memories of tasty treats; tables full of custards, pastries, pies, cakes and cremes brule.

For Timmy, it means chocolate chip cookie dough. If he is ever Emperor, prepare for a boom in not the baking of chocolate chip cookies, but the mixing of the dough as the national industry.

Enter dessert time at the Felton house, tonight.

Timmy: "I know what I want for dessert."
Swampy: (looking around the kitchen) "Glue?"
Timmy: "It starts with a 'Kuh' sound."
Swampy: "Crust?" "Timmy, do you want crust for dessert?"
Timmy: "Cookie Dough!" "I want all of it!" -
(There's only about a quarter-cup left...)
Swampy: "You may have half."
Timmy: "But that almost isn't any!"
Swampy: "Nonsense; it's twice as much as none."

Timmy does get all that is left and Anna goes skipping out of the room, singing "Twice as much as none, twice as much as none..."
