I explained to John I wasn’t hiding. I just happened to be in the kitchen when the first spoon full of His Bakery’s pumpkin bread hit my mouth and I couldn’t walk and admire the artistic balance of flavors at the same time.
He wanted to taste it too so I handed him my spoon and the pumpkin bread in its loaf pan, “How did you get such a smooth edge with a spoon?” he asked and scooped out a roundish dent of the good stuff and popped it in his mouth.
“You don’t gain weight that way.” I told him. “Women know these things. There are several nature weight laws, you know;
1. If you slice thin enough, so that you (or anyone) can not see that any has been removed from the mother cake, then you don’t gain weight. You can make one hundred such slices in a row, just as long as they’re each minute enough not to be detected from the preexisting whole cake. It’s weight physics.
2. Eat out of the cake pan or out of the cake cathedral (those beautifully, important glass hats resting on top of matching elevated plates).
3 Sneak eat; like that tree in the forest that no one sees, there is no weight gain or N. W. G.

4. Stand up to eat a sweet = N. W. G.  Wouldn’t it be nice if our country could solve our weight problem with this simple trick?  Children could be legislated to stand in place when eating anything with sugar or salty grease.  Five star restaurants would be popping with young people in honor of my brain storm.

We know these things; we know they don’t work but, we believe them anyway. Its like voting money to keep the libraries open and to help schools educate. Every voting period they get the money, every time most of the money goes to something else. The libraries open on Mondays again, a few weeks or a month. Then before it’s time to vote the library closes on Mondays so we all vote them money again. I’ve asked my friends about this strangeness and they have ALL said, “Yes I know the money has never gone to the libraries schools.”                                                                                                                     I ask, “But do you think it will all go there this time?”                                                          “Oh, no” they say, “But wouldn’t it be NICE if it did!”  nancymauerman.com
