Ate the cake off the floor - Page 2

That is SO cute! Awww....

One time as a teenager...a friend and I were making a big pot of spaghetti to feed a couple families as they were moving out. It was an apartment area...so we finished up the spaghetti and each took a handle and started to haul it outside to go to the next door apartment. Suddenly, we dropped it and spaghetti dumped all over! We had NO more food because their family was moving out too....(long story really...private apartments, not public)...so we looked over our shoulders and quickly scooped up the spaghetti that was on top (not touching the ground) and shoved it back into the pot. Then, we called my friend's dog over to eat the stuff that WAS touching the ground so nobody would know.

Obviously we would never do this again but we still laugh over it....

I baked a pound cake for a friend's Thanksgiving dinner. Before i left her driveway, she had dropped it on the kitchen floor. Her guests picked up hunks of cake and ate it before dinner. Most people are not disgusted by that type of thing and would hate it more for the cake to go to waste. That was an excellent thing to do to show your daughter how much you appreciated her gift.

I know that if that were me, I would have eaten off the floor too. I would be so moved to tears that she had done that for me I am not really sure where I would have drawn the line had it not dropped on the kitchen floor.

I know that there are lots of people that do not have kids that are very sensitive and love kids. I grew up in a small community and a couple in our church could not have kids and had wanted to. He came over to our house all the time and treated us kids to things(of course after asking our parents). He took us sledding, he would take us to get an popsicle in the summer time. we were the kids he treated because he could not have kids. He also knew that mom and dad did not always have the money or the time to do things for us even if they wanted too. There are also all kinds of reasons that people choose not to have kids also and some of those are very unselfish reasons.

KUDOS to all those who have ever been in her shoes too and have reacted the way she did. That is awesome. I have the 10 second rule in my home and it is a very slow count at times. there are no pets.

Awesome story! I bet it'll become part of your family folklore and be repeated every birthday.

Happy birthday!

She'll probably remember this all her life. What a great mom you are!
I was probably 6 when I was trying to help my mom get supper ready, and was taking a salad to the table, and of course dropped the bowl . Our neighbor was over for dinner ,picked it off the floor , dried my tears and sat down and ate most of the bowl himself just to make me feel better!
Crazy things we remember!

Well of course you have no pets. With a 10 second rule, you'd never stand a chance of getting anything that fell if you did...... You'd have to change it to the fast 1/2 second rule.... lol

And mom, that was great quick thinking. That would have made a wonderful photo, all of you eating the cake. I can see your daughters happiness from here. Great job.

Thank you! I Actually did take a photo! I will try and get it on here. And by the way... I did not mean to imply that all people without children wouldn't do the same, I have a very dear friend who does not have children and would take a bullet for one of my children. I just said that was one reason that one of my friends didn't understand why I voluntarily ate cake off my floor. ha ha

haha thats such a sweet story icon_smile.gif it reminded me of the episode of Friends with the cheesecake. Where Chandler and Rachel split the cake and Rachel drops hers, and when Chandler laughs at her misfortune, she slaps the cake out of his hand. So they eat it off the floor. Of course, Joey walks up, looks at them, they look embarressed at being caught eating off the floor, but Joey whips out a fork, hunkers down and says "So what're we eating?" and starts tucking in haha!

Because we don't have kids does not mean that we don't have hearts.



Thank you! icon_rolleyes.gif
