Mr. and Mrs. Cake, who are busy starting a second bakery franchise in Hoofington, need someone to watch their twins and make sure the troublesome duo behaves while they are gone. Thankfully, they get a mysterious and magical applicant for the position, known only as Mary Cloppins. Now, Mary Cloppins will watch Pound and Pumpkin Cake, and hope that the two of them aren't too much of a hooffull, even for her magic to handle.

The plot, cover image, and song parodies are inspired by Mary Poppins. Cover image by Paper-pony. This story is part of One-shotober. 100% approved by Twilight's Library!

Just like in the comic series Zits.

What does being male have to do with writing? :flutterrage:

She's got a point.
