One morning, John got up to make his cereal. He had poured his Corn Flakes and gone to the refrigerator to get some milk when something terrible occurred to him.
There was no milk. Paul had used the last of it when he made that horrible-tasting angel food cake with dinner last night.
"MACCAAAAA!!!" John yelled.
"Paul came scurrying out, still in his polka dot pajamas.
"What? Are you having a heart attack? Is the house on fire? Have you fallen and you can't get up?" Paul said.
"No. We're out of milk," John said.
"Oh. Is THAT all," Paul said.
Suddenly, George and Ringo came walking down the hallway, George with his favorite My Little Pony called Cotton Candy, and Ringo with his Thomas the Tank Engine.
"Hey guys!" Ringo said.
"The Little Ponies just had a wonderfully peaceful tea party with the Tank Engines!" George said.
"Lovely," John said sarcastically.
"Well, maybe you guys can bring along Minty and Percy when you go to the supermarket to buy milk," Paul said.
"You wut," Ringo said.
"You guys are going to get milk," John said, putting the keys in George's hand.
Ringo and George did as they were told and got in the car, completely forgetting that they were still in their bathrobes.
..................
On the way there, they listened Elvis. When they got into the store, they were obnoxiously singing "Jailhouse Rock" and had even made up their own dance moves. The people around them questioned their sanity.
George and Ringo went looking for the milk. They ended up in the cosmetics. They passed by two guys who looked like they were in the same situation.
"Lewis, my good man, the graham crackers are OBVIOUSLY that way!" one of them said.
"No, Clark! I am trying to tell you that the graham crackers are this way!" The other said.
George and Ringo skulked away from them, a bit disturbed that they had just seen Lewis and Clark looking for graham crackers.
After much wandering, they finally ended up in the dairy section. But there was a brand new problem.
Neither of them remembered what kind of milk they usually got.
George thought that they usually got 1%. Ringo thought they got skim, but he wanted to be rebellious and get chocolate or strawberry. After almost ten minutes of arguing, they just decided to get every kind of milk they had. They figured that would keep them going for awhile.
Afterwards they went to check out. Ringo almost fell over because the basket was so heavy. The cashier, who's name was Fred, looked at them weird in their bathrobes and eight cartons of milk, but didn't say anything.
"Brace yourself. Lewis and Clark are coming," George said.
"And with graham crackers," Ringo added.
Fred gawked at them.
.............................................
When they got home, they walked in with some torn up paper bags and were singing "Daydream Believer", with hand motions and everything. John and Paul were sitting at the table playing Monopoly.
"We're back!" Ringo said as they walked in.
"Finally!" John said, racing to his abandoned bowl of dry Corn Flakes.
Suddenly, the phone rang. Paul answered.
"Guess who that was, guys?" Paul said as he got off the phone.
"Who?" The other three said.
"Lewis and Clark! They're coming over tonight to make s'mores!" Paul answered.
George and Ringo smiled to themselves.
