The Butt Cake Story

 

Every so often the Gardner's have really good stories to share and I think this is one of them. On the night of Jason's 8th grade graduation ( pictures later ) Coleman made one. They had just herded out all the 8th graders and parents into a very dark ball field to take pictures and have refreshments. Now when I say dark, I mean almost no lighting out there. Coleman brought his very expensive camera to take some very professional pics of Jason and his friends. Well the stupid camera, or maybe camera man, could not get the flash to work correctly. As it was dark and he was getting frustrated, he sat down on the bleachers to get a better angle. He was flashing away and Erik starts SCREAMING and crying very loudly. As the ever great parent as I am, I ignore him and start taking pics with our little and "reliant" camera.
All of a sudden I realized what Erik is crying about. Coleman is sitting on his cake and Erik is MAD! Cole didn't even feel it and is still sitting on it. After Cole removed his tush, Erik told us he wanted a new piece and didn't want to eat the "butt cake". Not the end of the story. We got him a new piece of cake and he ate it all on the way home and was very happy. That night I went with the 8th graders to Disneyland. Cole called in the morning to tell me Erik threw up all night, most likely because of all the cake he had eaten. Serves Coleman right!
