A/N: I'm having a rotten day, so I wrote this.


Brennan wrinkled her nose and glanced up from her crossword puzzle as Booth popped a bacon strip into his mouth. He winked. Crunchcrunchcrunch.

Sighing, she spooned some steel-cut oatmeal into her mouth before shooting him a pointed glare.

"What?"

"Could you please make a little less noise?"

"It's called chewing, Bones. With crispy bacon you've gotta have some crunch."

She penciled in another letter. "With the amount of crunching you're doing, one would think you're eating bones."

"Gross. Way to ruin my appetite."

"You could stand to have your appetite ruined. You've already eaten scrambled eggs and six strips of bacon."

"So? I have a physically demanding job."

"Yes, when you're not sitting at your desk eating snickerdoodles."

A guilty expression crossed his face. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Mmhm."

"Anyway, I know why you're Miss Crankypants--you're stuck."

"And you can help?"

"Seeley Booth, problem solver."

"Fine. What is a three-letter word meaning mothers, fathers, and educators?"

Booth sat in silence until finally, a slow smile curved his lips. "PTA."

Brennan sighed; he was, unfortunately, right.

"Uh huh. Take that... Now, come here and let me show you what else I can do."

"If you insist."

"I do."
