A seasoned father and son are making light work of a family box of hot cross buns this morning, teaming up to demolish the whole dozen in one sitting.
Showcasing fluid tag-team like skills similar to the WWE’s infamous Dudley Boyz, The Advocate understands Shaun (23) and Shane (49) Chapman have put away the whole box in under 15 minutes.
With father Shane sitting proudly at the head of the outdoor family dining table, it’s believed young Shaun is hard at work, plying his appliance trade on the toasting duties.
Speaking to the real head of the family, Shanice Chapman (47), the mother of the pair said she’s just glad everyone’s home for Easter.
“It’s just such a beautiful time of year, the grass is looking green and the whole house smells like burnt cinnamon.”
“I bought a family box from the bakers for this weekend and it looks like my two boys will have the whole thing done by lunch!”
Schmearing one last layer of thick full-cream butter on the final mouthful of a hot cross bun, it’s understood father Shane has been summoned into the kitchen, tagged in to do a shift on the family toaster.
“Daaaad, there’s only two left so I reckon you’re up!”
“And don’t burn mine to buggery this time, I like mine a little doughy!”
Firing back orders whilst dusting crumbs from his chin, Shane is believed to have openly lied to his young offspring in an effort to embezzle the final serves.
“Nah mate, ya Mum bought another box they’re in the car!”
“Toast me the last ones and then I’ll go get em’ from the garage.”
Speaking openly to our reporter, Shane confided to The Advocate that ‘Buyers, Eaters’ rules were in play.
“Mate I bought them, so I’m eating them.”
“The young fella’s got a lot to learn, if he thinks he gets the last two in the box.”
“Now get me a fresh knife will ya, I might have these last ones with a bit of jam!”
