Blueberry Pancakes

Working at the MTC cafeteria can be very interesting. I'm sure that everyone there is very smart, but sometimes the missionaries there do stuff or ask questions that just leave you with either the question "What??" or "How?!" For example, there is always cream cheese EVERYWHERE after breakfast. Like the missionaries must be throwing around globs of cream cheese or something with how much I've had to clean up. I don't even understand how that happens. Or another example is that I've been asked where cereal is by a missionary, when there is literally a row of cereal dispensers on every single wall of that cafeteria. Well, today I had an interesting experience involving blueberry pancakes.

So today in my line we were serving pancakes. Plain, normal, nothing in them pancakes. For some reason all the missionaries seemed to be expecting blueberry pancakes though. I think at least 1/5 of the people that came by my line asked if the pancakes were blueberry pancakes. I don't understand why they were even asking that. The pancakes obviously did not have any blueberries in them at all. They were just plain pancakes, so I don't know what the deal was. However, the missionaries continued to ask if the pancakes were blueberry pancakes. Us servers decided to start getting creative with our answers because we were tired of so many people asking if the pancakes had blueberries and continuously answering "No" so we decided to shake things up a bit. Here are a few of the conversations we had with the missionaries:

Missionary: "Uh, excuse me, are these blueberry pancakes?"
Server: "Yeah"
Missionary: "Then where are the blueberries?"
Server: "If you don't see blueberries, then why would you ask if they're blueberry pancakes?"

Missionary: (sounding very sad) "Aww, no blueberries?"
Server: "No, the blueberries were a lie"

Missionary: "Where are the blueberries?!"
Me: "The cooks accidentally used them all to make the blueberry scones"
Missionary: "Really? So they were going to make blueberry pancakes, but ran out of blueberries?"
Me: "No, they were going to make plain pancakes, but just made blueberry scones also"

We had many conversations like that. I really have no idea why all the missionaries kept asking about blueberry pancakes! So far the best guess I've heard is that they all started some joke or something that they'd ask the servers about blueberry pancakes and see what they said. I don't know if that's right, but if it is then the missionaries sure have an interesting way of entertaining themselves.
