The Freezer Is Joes Territory

My guest said “I’ll throw this into the freezer for you”. “No you won’t,” I replied. “Why not?” “Open the freezer.” She did so and laughed. “That’s Joe’s territory. Let him take care of it. Yesterday I could not find my ice cream bars. I told Joe we were out. He began rummaging through the freezer And brought out five boxes of them. Whereas I could not find one box.” “Honestly?” My friend asked. “Who would lie about that?”

It's probably so well organized it would put me to shame. I have things in my freezer that have been there for years. They are no long edible, and they don't look so hot either!

He said "no we're not" and began stacking boxes of them on the counter. The boxes bright- red white and blue.I saw NONE of them in there.
