  27. Dusty loves peanut butter.  If his mom let him, he would eat it straight out of the jar, no spoon required (which seriously grosses out his sister, Traci). Just days after their mom bought a Costco-sized tub of creamy Jif, Traci reached in the cupboard to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  To her surprise, the jar was scrapped clean, with peanut buttery finger prints around the lid.  Where could the peanut butter have gone?

  28. Before Michelle heads to the cafeteria, she decides she needs to stop by her locker.  When she finally gets into the lunch room, she pauses, looks at the long line of students, and sighs.  She then spots her best friend, Julia, near the front of the line for tacos and gets an idea.  What might her idea be?
