They called for help in the movie?”

They are fresh out of the oven,” your mom says. “Where am I?” you ask. “You are in your living room. You were watching some show about an island and fell asleep. I sent your friends home,” your mom says. “Now, that’s a real treasure,” you say as you happily get up. Now, back to Island Fun! “No, we were looking for treasure,” you say. The End?
