From the Mouths of Babes

At school on Monday, Quin's 7th grade class did some general holiday merry-making that included infusions of store-bought cake and other treats. As is his wont, Quin was detailing for me the crap treats he consumed, and when he mentioned cake, I made the appropriate "yum yum" noises.

And here he surprised me. "Eh -- it wasn't really that good." Now, for Quin to not wholeheartedly embrace cake of any stripe (even grocery-store cake) is a completely unknown phenomenon, so I delved at bit. What was wrong with the cake? "It was like -- it was like a bad imitation of chocolate."

That's mah boy!

May your holidays be merry, your new year bright, and all of your chocolate be at least 63% bittersweet.
