I’m speaking of course about birthdays, and cake in particular.

Half of our tribe always requests this little darling, Angel Food cake with whipped cream and strawberries.

There can never be enough for them

The rest of us ask for chocolate cake, every time, preferably with sprinkles and more icing than you could shake a stick at.

Not that there’s anything wrong with Angel Food cake, it’s just that for me there’s no punch to say, “yes, it is your birthday.”
