The Great Guacamole Mishap

Once upon a time, there was a family who loved to make homemade guacamole. They always looked forward to their weekly Mexican-themed dinner night, where they could indulge in their favorite dip.

One night, they were in such a rush to make the guacamole that they accidentally added an entire bulb of garlic instead of one clove! They didn't realize their mistake until they took their first bite and their mouths were overwhelmed with the strong garlic flavor.

But being the silly family they were, they didn't let this mishap ruin their dinner. They decided to have some fun with it and started coming up with garlic-related puns.

• "Looks like we're going to have to ward off any vampires tonight!" exclaimed the father.
• "Garlic, my dear Watson!" joked the son.
• Even the dog got in on the action by barking incessantly and then breathing in everyone's faces, pretending to be a garlic-loving monster.

Despite the strong garlic flavor, they ended up devouring the entire bowl of guacamole, laughing and joking the whole way through. From then on, they made sure to double-check their ingredients before adding them to their beloved guacamole recipe.
