funny

so the other day i made a couple of cakes (actually it was two cakes that would eventually make one two-layer cake. are you following?). of course, after i took them out of the oven, i was in a hurry, going somewhere so i had to leave before they cooled. so i asked mark,

denise: mark, in like thirty minutes will you flip these cakes out of the pans so they can cool the rest of the way on the baking rack?
mark: sure

i come home way later that night and walk into the kitchen. and what do i see? the cakes are upside down on the cooling rack, STILL IN the pans. he just took the cakes and turned them over and set them on the baking rack. so i am dying laughing because he obviously misunderstood and probably thought i was insane for asking him to turn cakes upside down after thirty minutes. like how could that possibly help things.

another conversation. and this is just a smidge embarrassing.
me and mark are outside looking up at the sky trying to find the one constellation i know- orion.

mark says, pointing: well, that's north. so then that's east, south and west.
denise: Never Eat Soggy Waffles. if you say it and go around clockwise, then that's how you can know which way each direction is.
mark: do you really need an acronym to figure that out?
denise: well how do you figure it out?
mark: BECAUSE I'VE SEEN A MAP BEFORE
