Robert had a dish of whole dried plums, and I saw that Jonathan was eating one.  I told Robert, "That was certainly nice of you to share your snack with Brother."  He said, "I didn't give him one--he helped himself."  I went over and looked in the bowl--there was one left.  "How many did he take?" I asked.  I realized that was a stupid question and started taking the plums out of Jonny's mouth.  One, two, three, four were pulled out, just like the magicians' scarf trick.
