This is the first of two stories about Kathy, fully illustrated in color by the author. Kathy explains to us her true and deep understanding of something her mother does not know; how the real world works. Kathy reasons out an explanation for the shenanigans going on at her house which is; mothers all over the neighborhood invite creatures into their homes, her mother being no exception, and those creatures are responsible for removing most all of the frosting from Dad's big birthday cake, NOT KATHY.
