| my birthday cake
well, i have bought my own cake since my dad died in 1984. he was 50 and fell over with a heart attack. mom was never a baker so dad always bought us a cake. he was a jokers so sometimes we got really weird theme cakes. when he died, i started getting my own cake. always yellow with choc. frosting like he got me. to me , in my mind, it was a cake from dad just like always. anyways, today, i got called into work and stopped at a few stores on the way home looking for a yellow cake with choc. frosting. finally found one and got it , took it out and put it in the trunk and went one to see a few more clients then home. when I got here, i got it out and as i closed the trunk, the lid hit my "not to d*&^ funny funny bone" the cake went up, did a nice flip or 2 and landed upside down, outa the box, on top of my white nursing shoes. My hubby came flying outa the house yelling something about the 5 second rule and I was laughing so hard i bout wet my pants. My dad would have laughed if he could have seen me grabbing at the air trying to grab at bit of the cake before it hit the ground. There it was , on my shoes, with leaves and rocks and gravels and such sticking outa it all over the frosting and my dear hubby who knows all about the "cake from daddy" was telling me we could shave the top of the frosting off and pick the rocks outa it and eat it anyways. It was soooooo funny!!!! My mom called later and now has decided to make me a cake. She aitn made a cake in 30- 40 yrs so I cant wait to see what happens with this one!

I'm glad you got a good laugh out of it. I would laugh and cry and probably wet myself to boot! Happy Birthday!

I agree that you have a great sense of humor about the whole thing. You and your husband both! Today is my birthday, too. The family gave me cards, a gift and we're getting ready to go out to eat, but no cake. Lisa

I hope you had a SUPER Birthday and that your mother's cake came out great. My granddaughter's BD was Friday and today (Sunday) will be her daughter's real birthday. Granddaughter was to be induced at 10:00 tonight so the baby would be born on Sunday. Her name is Holly Ann.
