So I'm bringing my elderly mother a cake....

I bought her a fancy cake because she likes sweets. She's 94 and barely weighs 100 pounds. It's beautiful, like a giant strawberry shortcake but full sized like a normal cake. Gooey strawberries on top of whipped cream on top of a cake. She's in the garage as I'm walking in with it and the cake shifts inside its container. It slides out, does a perfect 1/2 flip and lands with a plop face down! Right in front of her. I had to use a flat blade shovel and a bunch of paper towels but there's going to be a nice bright red stain on the garage floor for quite a while. It was so ridiculous it made me laugh.

It reminded me of a Harland Williams story of how he bought an old car. It didn't have air bags so he taped a jelly donut to his steering wheel. He said a car rear-ended him and he smashed into the steering wheel. When he got out the other driver thought he had killed him.

Oh well. It was the thought that counts. At least she got to see it.

Remember the 30 second rule: if you got it off the floor fast, you can still eat it!

Started to sound like you were trying to kill her with kindness.

Now you made me hungry.
