Muffin Trains

I spent the good part of the morning making lemon poppy seed muffins to serve to some friends and their kids that were coming over for a play date. My kids were ready to eat them as soon as the company arrived. I handed each kid one mini muffin at the table, while the moms went into the living room to visit. Five minutes later when I went to check on them, the muffin plate was empty and my four darlings had each made a muffin train. The engines were the big muffins I had made for the moms, minus a bite here and there. Apparently, only the engine is allowed to have a glaze on top. Aly and Abby remedied the situation by licking the glaze off of each mini muffin. Aly even figured out that if you take a bite out of the side, the muffins "lock" together. Caleb and Jake didn't mess with licking and just bit the tops of the muffins.

I found two mini muffins that were salvageable and feed them to my guests. Should I be surprised that neither of the moms asked for seconds?
