"Me, me! I did it! Why? Did they like it?!"
"Didn't she hear that there's a problem with it?" the young lady in Penny's group earlier crossed her arms under her chest, shaking her head. They had already peeled all the potatoes and were currently taking a break.
The man beside her sighed. "I didn't touch that food."
"Good thing I stayed far away from that dish since it was Auntie Mildred's," the other guy remarked, and the three of them nodded in agreement.
The rest of the people in the kitchen slowly turned their attention from Mildred to the enthusiastic Penny. They watched as Penny quickly removed her gloves and draped them over the kitchen sink before taking off her apron.
