history: My son stole 50 cookies from the cookie jar tonight. His behavior really let me down. My son_comma_ the devious scamp_comma_ stole 50 cookies from the cookie jar tonight. Never been so disappointed in him. 50?  That might be a world record or something.  How did you find out?
current: Well, I was off to the freshly stocked cookie jar and there were none left! I figured his aching stomach was punishment enough. His agony was quite palpable.
next: I guess he learned his lesson.  Only eat 25.  ha ha.
