A Thousand Words - And Then Some #17
"Nooooo, this no pink! This red!" said the guy at the bakery with utter self-conviction.
Yesterday when I ordered this cake (raspberry filling), I specifically asked them to not put pink or purple on the cake.
"It's a guy's birthday", I informed the bakery dude. "Please use blue, or green. No pink. Please!".
And today, he looked me in the eye, assuring me that this is not pink. Y'know, I'm an artist. I kinda know about color. You simply cannot tell an artist that this is red. This is sooooooooo pink! And a horrifying one!! And - they also put a rose...
But - I didn't argue. I took this manly, masculine creation and presented it to the birthday boy.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, THE JOHNNYB!!!
(and this font is not pink, either...).
Next year, I'm baking the cake.

Funny article. It is so aggravating when you are so specific and they are so dense. I just thought of a great birthday present....painting lessons!
Tell John, Happy Birthday from me.
