UNFORGETTABLE MORNING: SINGLE DAD FINDS BREAKFAST ALREADY MADE

He quickly called his sister. “Hey, Sarah, did you come over this morning and make breakfast?”

Sarah sounded puzzled. “No, why? What’s going on?”

Jack checked the house, but all the doors and windows were locked, and there were no signs of anyone coming in.

“Is it safe to eat, Daddy?” Emma asked, staring at the pancakes with her big, curious eyes.

Jack took a bite to test them. They were delicious. “Everything seems fine. Let’s dig in!”

The girls happily ate their breakfast, but Jack couldn’t stop thinking about who had made those pancakes. It was unusual, but he had work to do and decided to push the mystery aside for the moment.

After dropping Lily and Emma off at daycare, Jack’s mind kept wandering back to the morning’s strange events. And when he returned home that evening, he was met with another surprise—his lawn, which he hadn’t had time to mow, was freshly cut.

Scratching his head, Jack muttered, “This is getting weird.” He decided to get to the bottom of it. The next morning, he woke up even earlier than usual and hid in the kitchen, watching through a crack in the door.

At around six, a woman slipped in through the window. She was dressed in an old postal worker uniform and started cleaning the dishes from the night before. Then, she pulled out cottage cheese and began making pancakes. Jack’s stomach growled loudly, causing the woman to turn around in shock. She rushed to turn off the gas and tried to escape through the window.

“Wait, please! I’m not going to hurt you,” Jack said, stepping out from his hiding spot. “You made those pancakes, didn’t you? Why? Please, don’t be afraid—I’m the girls’ father.”
