"Now see here, Mogey," Smush said one day as he waxed into a lecture on the proper use of their pitchfork, namely NOT roasting comically oversized marshmallows. "Your wastefulness has brought this house to its knees, which brings us to the crux of the matter."
"Hang on a tick," Mogey interrupted. "Did you just say 'the crux of the matter?'"
"Yes," Smush replied.
"Just checking," said Mogey. "Please proceed."
"As I was saying," Smush went on. "Your wastefulness has--"
"So are we going to have some crux or what?" Mogey interrupted again.
"What in the world are you talking about?" Smush asked.
"You know, crux. Isn't that the plural of crumb?" Mogey said. "I was led to believe there would be some cookie crux or maybe even a few cake crux for the latter part of this lecture."
