If you were at Hershey Park in Hershey, Pennsylvania, and you saw a couple of thirteen-year-old twins covered from head to toe in chocolate sauce, it probably wouldn’t seem like such a big deal. But when Coke and Pep staggered out of the tunnel and people saw them stumbling around Cedar Point, there was a lot of pointing, laughing, and cell phone photography.

“Look!” Coke told his sister. “The log flume! Follow me!”

He ran to the shallow pool of water at the end of the log flume ride, and without any hesitation, jumped in. Pep followed.

They splashed around for a minute, and when they climbed out, the ice cream and hot fudge sauce had washed away. They were just two very wet kids.

“We better find Mom and Dad,” Pep said.

Coke reached for his cell phone and instantly realized it was dead. You can’t soak a cell phone in ice cream, hot fudge sauce, and water and expect it to keep working.

In the end, it didn’t matter. Dr. and Mrs. McDonald spotted them in the distance.

“What are you going to tell them?” Pep asked her brother.

“The truth,” he said, “like I always do.”

Their parents rushed over to greet the twins and saw that they were soaking wet.

“What happened to you two?” asked Mrs. McDonald.

“We were kidnapped by an evil Mister Softee,” Coke explained. “He tried to induce hypothermia by covering our bodies with ice cream.”

“Ha, ha!” Dr. McDonald said. “That’s a good one. You kids crack me up.”

“Why didn’t you call us?” asked their mother. “Why do you think we got you cell phones?”

“They got wet,” Coke explained, holding up his useless phone.

“You went for a swim with your cell phone in your pocket?” Mrs. McDonald asked. “Are you out of your minds?”

Dr. McDonald didn’t like conflict. He tried to avoid it whenever possible.

“We’ll get them new cell phones, honey,” he said. “It’s no big deal. So, what do you say, how about we get some ice cream?”

“No!”
