 | secret decoder ring for days there are cupcakes in the house |
“I’ll be in the kitchen.”
Means: There are leftover cupcakes. And there’s about to be one less.
“Okay, kids! Bedtime!”
Means: So I can eat another cupcake.
“Oh, I don’t know what I want for dinner.”
Means: How many cupcakes do I have to eat before it’s a meal?
“Are you going to run to the store?”
Means: So I can eat a cupcake without having to share?
“I think we’re out of breakfast things.”
Means: There will be no more cupcakes left by morning.
Works for days when there are gourmet chocolate chip cookies in the house, too.
I’ll be in the kitchen.
I think I better test it out with the chocolate chip cookies. For research purposes, you understand.
I’m still in that fun place where I can’t eat much of anything for most of the day (yay, “morning” sickness! in the second trimester!), so I feel oddly justified in my occasional cupcake consumption when I can stomach one. Or four. But not all at the same time.
lmao.
“hey, should we watch a movie?” means you watch this while I sneak back into the kitchen for a cupcake.
“I’m just gonna wash some dishes” means stay out of the kitchen while I eat another cupcake.
Stay out of the kitchen while I eat a cupcake– and, um, just don’t notice that the dishes remain undone. (Or maybe that’s just me.)
. . .
Dude. I’m pretty sure you already knew my secret cupcake code.
