The fate of the remainder of the Hero's yummy yet colossal birthday cake is perilously in question. Despite our best efforts to consume it in its entirety, after several days it stubbornly continues to exist, and even appears to actually grow in size when we are not looking.
We have shared slices with neighbors, coworkers, passing UPS drivers, hungry squirrels, etc., and still almost a quarter of the cake is left.
"We have to put the rest in the freezer," I told the Hero.
Had the Hero just learned that he was suddenly required to forgo clothing, he could not have looked more horrified. He searched desperately for a reason to keep the cake within reach of easy consumption.
"I think cake helps my canker sores," he announced. "We should definitely have some tomorrow before you freeze it. And Saturday too," he added. "And Sunday..."
And so it is that barring an emergency Congressional Act, the cake will likely never make it to the freezer. And after the cake is gone, we will be facing a month or two of salads and other green, healthy, non-cake foods to make up for our weakness.
Which will just about bring us to MY birthday...
