"Maybe it's a Babybel"

Have you ever had Babybel cheese? It's a mini wheel of cheese with a red wax wrapper.

On Wednesday, a few few girlfriends came over for hors d'oeuvres and wine. Upon taking the baked brie out of the oven and discovering that it had bubbled, I exclaimed, "Oh no! The brie had a baby!"

My friend, V., without missing a beat, replied, "Maybe it's a Babybel."
