Thickening Agents

________

Hathor says on the phone: I just read that your company is adding ‘thickening agents’ to your infant formula.
My kids and I are wondering is a thickening agent like a spy?

phone: A spy? heh he. No…It’s to thicken the formula so that babies will sleep through the night…

Hathor says: gasp! That’s horrific!

phone: well it IS more convenient…
Hathor: And you’re SURE that a diabolical plot like this doesn’t include spies?

phone: uh no. only ‘experts’

hathor: Uh Oh. pardon the pun, but the plot thickens.
