Do You Know the Muffin Man?

Okay, so this is from yesterday morning. But it's cute, and it involves the question of the day.

I was getting a muffin for Makela's breakfast, and as she watched me, she noticed something about them. "Muffins match my cupcakes!"

I agreed with her, saying that both muffins and cupcakes are made using muffin tins. Of course Makela's next thought was a question: "Why is it called a muffin tin?"

My answer: "Because the person who invented the muffin tin decided to call it that. When someone invents something, it means they make it for the first time."

"Oh," she said. "Who made that muffin tin?"

Now how am I supposed to answer this one? There really is only one answer for her: "The Muffin Man, Makela."
