Brendan O’Hare was completely lost in the kitchen. Even he couldn’t make a plate of soup for himself or boil an egg.
Brendan had never even done the food shopping, but he always came home from work to a delicious meal cooked by his wife, Barbara.
One day, Barbara was sick with the flu for several days. As a result, the fridge was all but empty.
Brendan realized he’d better help out, and offered to go to the supermarket.
Barbara sent him off with a carefully numbered list of seven items.
Brendan returned shortly, very proud of himself, and proceeded to unpack the grocery bags.
He had one bag of carrots, two packages of celery, three dozen eggs, four bags of potatoes, five raw chickens, six boxes of noodles, and seven loaves of bread.
