In the years since Joan had met Sherlock Holmes and had actually become friends with the eccentric detective, she learned not to ask too many questions about his odd behavior.
But this, this needed to be questioned.
“Sherlock, seriously, why the hell do you have 90 boxes of these?”
Sherlock looked up from his collection of locks that he was rearranging yet again, a perplexed frown on his face at hearing Watson’s exasperated tone.
And at seeing what she was holding in her hand, his mouth quirked up into a half smile.
“Oh those,” he answered dismissively, but by Joan’s expectant expression, she needed more of an answer.
“I only like certain kinds of Jell-0,” he reluctantly allowed, “the majority of which have been discontinued, so when I come across the flavors I like for purchase, I stock up.”
Joan shook her head in disbelief. “Yes, but don’t you think 90 boxes of maple syrup, raspberry mango and root beer Jell-O are a bit much?!”
