THE DAILY GROANER - September 8, 2014

Good Morning Groanies,

"If I knew you were coming I would have baked a cake."

You've probably heard that a time or two, right? Well, I was just thinking, what if the person that's coming doesn't care for cake or baked goods?

Also, what kind of a cake are we talking about? Is it chocolate? Or a rum cake? Or maybe a coffee cake? Are we talking sprinkles here? What about some strawberries on the top or on the inside? I need specifics.

What if that cake that's being made contains something that the potential eater may be allergic to?

And why cake? Why don't they make a birdhouse or a quilt or something like that? What about a diorama?

The saying should now be, "If I knew you where coming I would have called you prior to your arrival and asked you if there was anything that would tickle your fancy in the way of an after-dinner snack or dessert."

I guess that one doesn't quite roll off the tongue like the former. But then again, who doesn't like cake?

Groaningly yours,
Steve
