Me: Wow, the birds really chowed down on that stale bread you put out!
Mom: Yes, and the cake too.
Me: Cake? I don't remember any stale cake.
Mom: It wasn't stale.
Me: You tossed the rest of that cake? That good cake?
Mom: We had plenty of cake this weekend. We didn't need any more cake.
Me: But...but...
Mom: When you weighed last, did the arrow point up or down?
Me: (muttering) Lucky birds.
Oh, I didn't think of the birds when I tossed the other half of Bonna's cake. It went in the trash. Poor birds.
ReplyDeleteYes, that's a good way to eat healthier, and for the birds to...eat healthier as well. Oh well, here's to the birds: let them eat cake!
ReplyDeleteYou may want to check your scale ... mine always points up.
ReplyDeleteWell, there may be a reason why yours always points up, and it may have to do with cake.
ReplyDeleteIn my case, we have a scale that is entirely too nosy and remembers your last weight, then shows you the difference, pointing either up or down.
