Ok so this isn't so much a disaster as just really funny. It kills my daughter that she never gets to have any of the cakes that I decorate and this night was no exception. I was decorating 2 cakes a few months ago to take to work. Just trying to let people see what I had learn and could do. My kitchen for some reason that night was very active. My husband and daughter both trying to talk to me. Well I had finally finished the butterfly cake iced in dark purple and put it off to the side. I started on the next cake. Yeah I'm moving right along. So I'm all involved in what I'm doing and my daughter asked me a question. I thought she wanted to eat my left over icing and I said sure. So continue on with my decorating. A few minutes later I turn around and my daughter is digging into the CAKE!! AAAHHHH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I say...she says You said I could have some of the cake! She had purple icing all over her mouth and teeth...I could't stay mad just laughed so hard my sides hurt. So now anytime she's in the kitchen and ask Mommy a question....I LISTEN!
As a mom of four, I totally know what you mean. Way too many times I find myself saying yes to things and I'll think back and can't remember what the question was.
At least we can laugh!
We may have to envoke the "NO TALKING TO MOMMY WHEN SHE'S DECORATING" rule.
I get into the "decorating zone" and am completely unaware of what is going on around me. Who know's what I've granted permission to the kids to do while in that "zone".
LOL - just had a similar thing happen to me, except my caked hadn't been iced yet. My 3 year old came down asking "I have that" and I thought he was referring to the cookies!! lol. He pinched a piece of the edge of the cake! Looked like a little mouse took a bite!!

We do have the rule of don't talk to mommy when she's decorating anything. I have three girls, so things can get very stressed with all the estrogen flowing from the walls. They now go to daddy, so I don't turn into the MONSTER.
