Easy Street

The huge leftover cake was sent home with us today from church. It was sitting on our fooseball table in the box and wrapped in saran wrap as well. John was leaving to go hang out with Jeremy and decided to take cake with him. "Just take the whole box," I told him. "No, that's too much trouble," was his reply.

  • He proceeded to go to the kitchen and get a cookie sheet.
  • He then meticulously lined the sheet with foil.
  • Then he got a butcher knife and cut the cake in half.
  • It was not easy getting half of the leftover cake onto a cookie sheet, but after a bit of a struggle, he managed it.
  • Then he rewrapped the original cake. Next he wrapped the cake on the cookie sheet.
  • Then he noticed that he spilled crumbs on the floor doing all this so he got out the vacuum and vacuumed them up.
  • Since he already had the vacuum out, he did the rest of the den.
  • He wrapped the cord as only a perfectionist would and put the vacuum away.
Presto! Easy as pie (or should I say cake) he was ready to go.

Can someone please tell me why in the world all of that was easier than just taking the whole thing??????? He is such a funny, funny man! =)

  1. Yeah, that was easy, huh?
    Now for speculation on his ulterior motive...
    If he took the WHOLE cake and it seemed the right and socially acceptable thing to do to leave it at Jeremy's, what would John have for breakfast tomorrow?
    He wanted his cake at his friend's house and cake at home.
    You see? You're not really inside the mind of your man until you can think like they think about food...
    Now that's pretty sinister, huh?

  2. I'm impressed he took the time to vaccum the crumbs. Did you train him to do that. Awsome.

  3. can we say "obsessive, compulsive, hyper-focused"?? just kidding... it's a guy thing, actually. They put WAY too much thought into what ever they do. But then again, sometimes they don't....
