Parents Mistaken for Burglars

In their room, the Cake Twins just finished reading their comic as Pumpkin used her unicorn magic to levitate it to a shelf full of comics.

"Another interesting comic finished." the unicorn said.

"Can't wait till we get the next one!" Pound Cake responded, just before they hard the pounding on the door downstairs.

"Do you hear that, Pound?" Pumpkin asked her brother.

"Sure did, sis." Pound Cake responded.

"Someone's knocking on the door! Very loudly! As in, with lots of force!" Pumpkin Cake whimpered at the last part.

"It must be the thief!" Pound gasped, "Remember in the comic? The burglars pound on the door!"

The pounding suddenly got even louder, as both Mr and Mrs Cake were pounding as loud as they could, shouting, "Pound! Pumpkin!"

The Cake Twins could not hear their parents' voices, but they could hear the loud pounding increasing its loudness as the amplitude of the sound waves became longer.

"Ah! The burglars must be very determined to get in here! Pounding on the door with even more strength!" Pumpkin Cake whimpered.

"In this case, there's no way we can just sit here and expect that the objects blocking the door is enough to protect our home!" Pound Cake declared, standing up, "We got to stop the burglars ourselves, like Kevin from the comic book we read!"

"You mean...set up booby-traps?" Pumpkin asked her brother.

"Exactly!" Pound Cake answered in a confident tone.

Author's Note:

Since I learn physics, I know that sound waves with a longer amplitude produce louder sounds, while sound waves with shorter amplitude produce shorter sounds.

Oh boy I knew it this is going to be a mistake identity and now the parents are probably going to get the booby traps 😅
