Have Your Cake and Eat it Too

Ashley spent most of the afternoon with Logan picking out birthday cakes for his fourth birthday.  Late in the afternoon, I received a call at work.

"We've narrowed it down to about 15 choices," Ashley said.

"Wow!  Fifteen?" I asked.  "I didn't know that there were that many cake flavors," I said, with a hint of sarcasm.

My mind began to wander as I started to think of different flavors.  Chocolate, vanilla, lemon, mud...wait, no, that's pie.

"Oh, we haven't even started on the flavor combinations yet.  We're just working on the decoration.  The design," she added with the slightest hint of manic desperation.

Oh, golly...and there's still a week to go before his actual birthday.
