I bought four fancy cupcakes on the way home.
There are four people in my house, including me. This should have been simple math.
Then I sat in the parking lot and ate one.
Not because I was starving. I just knew that if I brought all four home, I would hand them out, say I did not really want one, and later scrape frosting off a paper wrapper like a raccoon with a mortgage.
I went back inside and bought another cupcake so nobody would know.
That somehow made the whole thing feel more criminal.
Do other mothers secretly replace food they ate before getting home, or have I crossed into organized dessert fraud?
Now the comments get a turn.
