Cake

A couple times a week I will take my special baby to the corner grocery store on the way home for a lolly pop or a popsicle, if she has been cooperative leaving kindergarten. She always asks, just as today:

I wanna go to grocery store.
We're not going to the grocery store today for two reasons. Want to know them?
Yeah.
First of all, see how loaded my bag is? I want to get home as fast as we can.
Okay.
The second reason is we still have lots of cake and ice cream, and you can have some after dinner. Another piece of good news is we're going to have a delicious dinner. Can you guess what it is?
What?
Dinner.
Dinner?
Yeah, guess what's for dinner.
Guess.
No, you have to say something you think might be for dinner.
Yes.
...
What's something you think we might be having for dinner?
Mmm...uhhh...mmmm....eehhhh...cake?
No, I said cake will be for dessert!
I want cake for dinner.
You can't have cake for dinner, capiche?
Capiche.
So try and guess what we might have for dinner.
I don't know what's for dinner.
I know, but just say anything you can think of that we have for dinner.
Okay...cake?

obviously she had only one thing on the brain....

what kind of cake is that good? i bet it was chocolate.

cake is okay, but when she grows up a little she'll realize that a pork shoulder is better. At least she will if they ever start selling shoulders in LT. It's clearly the best food currently available to mankind. Both more delicious AND fattier than a cake.

i was chocolate pound cake, with reduced sugar.

loky, pork shoulder may beat most cakes, but not cheese cake.

but it does beat the crumby cheese cake liepa and i made, oreo cheese cake. . eh. .
