Today I'm nursing a banged up knee. Mutton got really excited yesterday when I pulled the feed sack out and went into his happy, happy, joy, joy dance--punctuating it with a playful--and very forceful--head butt with his big ole sheep horns. He's really pushing it. He doesn't realize how very much I want to experiment with western Kentucky barbecue techniques featuring the meat he is named after. His buddy, Chops, totally gets it and maintains a respectful distance.Today's story is based on an actual cake lady in Atlanta. I'm not sure if she is still there or not. But she really did this. And I never went to see her, precisely because I expected the scenario in the story to play out. It's much nicer just imagining it happened.
Holiness Cake Lady
OOPs!

The final was submitted and will be appearing in the April issue of Cautionary Tale.

ReplyDeleteI been loving these february stories - thanks Rosie!
Hilarious, considering her financial incentive in the opposite direction! Mammon meets God one on one and God scores for a change!
ReplyDeleteUmmmm, guess I don't want to meet her...even if I should. I second the thanks for the stories
ReplyDeleteThis actually happened to mom at an ice cream shop once! OUCH!
ReplyDeleteGreat story! Sorry about the knee!
Whoa. I value honesty, but...
ReplyDeleteI tihnk I'm glad this lady is in your territory, not mine.
Red Velvet cake...even God would have to approve of that.
