Oh my children, if your mother gets up early on Saturday morning the day before Mother’s Day and makes you a special breakfast cake in a kickin’-cool castle-shaped bundt pan, it is not a good idea for three of the four of you to wail, “Eww! I don’t like it! Can I have something else? What IS it?”
For one thing, the more-astute teenager, concerned about his siblings’ continued existence, can only shove in so much. And he lies badly.
Although to be fair, “Yum! Mom, this is great!”, probably NEVER sounds persuasive coming out of a teenager’s mouth.
