The Word

Have you ever decided you wanted to make a special dish or dessert? You go to the store and buy the ingredients you need. You decide you don't have the time that day so you put the items away only to start your prep a day or two later to find the locusts* descended and your special ingredient is gone. I found all I had to do was label the item with one small word. Stops the locusts right in their tracks.

*You're wondering why I used locusts and not vultures. At least vultures leave bones.
