What’s for Dessert?

Shawn is excited because his relatives are coming for dinner. Mom said that she could make one each of three kinds of pies: pumpkin, banana cream, custard, blueberry, pecan, mincemeat, cherry, chocolate, lemon meringue. The problem is:

  • —Uncle Bart is allergic to chocolate.

  • —Dad does not like blueberries.

  • —Grandpa’s doctor said that custard pie is not good for him.

  • —Shawn does not like lemon meringue pie.

  • —Shawn’s cousin, Sally, does not like pumpkin pie.

  • —Aunt Eugenia says that pecan pie is too fattening.
