Look Away NOW, MrM

The academic who was 41 is now 42.

I promised to make him a cake
and I asked him what
his favourite flavour was.

The academic who is now 42 said:


Please don't try and imagine
my subsequent conversation with MrM.
Especially not the allegation of
"cruel and unreasonable behaviour".
I want to maintain the image
of an untroubled married life.

  1. That is above and beyond the call of duty. And how can there be trouble where there's cake ;D

  3. I'm not imagining any subsequent conversation...I am, however, imagining the taste of that cake.

  8. MrM is quite within his rights to complain I fear, especially after seeing that cake. You should, perhaps, have made two...

  9. MrsM - the moral of this story is always make double of anything - that way you can keep MrM happy too :)

  11. I am lost for words ...

    perhaps I should withhold MrsM's mug of tea in bed privileges in the morning ?

    Not that I am bitter or anything of course

  14. I think I'm leaning over to MrM's point of view. Just showing us that cake is a bit cruel and unreasonable too......

  16. Is he at least cute? I have seen a picture of MrM and anyone would have stiff competition! I side with the Mr, couldn't the 42nd birthday been celebrated with a Rhubarb crumble?

    WV: SUCKS. I do not usually use such crude language, but it seems to fit here...
