When dealing with someone with a major sugar health problem, there are moments…not very often, when I say to Dufus, “alright, if you make this slight detour.. ok, an extra 350 miles, then I will buy you A DONUT”. I have always told daughter Connie, #1 and Billie Girl, 2 too that you must be smarter then what you are dealing with. So presenting him with the thought of a luscious delight, ONE free donut, at the end of driving 6 hours and paying for another day of restaurants, not to mention the #Suites at #LaQuinta,… that #DONUT seduced his thinking pretty quick. I realize that the word seduce has sexual implications, but to a diabetic, food IS a sexual thing
I have my problems. So I go shopping (he NEVER proposed, just asked me to go shopping) with an extremely intelligent sharpshooter who plans his every move. And he is sooooooooooo smooth, I never catch on till after the fact. I picked up on that when he took us to the Kentucky Derby one year. As a sideline we went on tour of the Louisville Slugger Museum. Afterwards everyone got a miniature bat. I kept mine and threatened to beat Dufus with it every time he got out of line. It comes in very handy on the farm especially if it’s been raining or he’s been mowing and his feet are muddy or he has grass clippings all over, ALL ….over himself. The rule is, he has to take off his boots and his clothes IN THE GARAGE…IF, and only IF we are having company and I have just cleaned the floors. Unfortunately the 6 year old who shaves only thinks about things that are important to HIM, but his brain, such as is remaining at his age, does not EVER remember the house rules, consequently upon opening the kitchen door, there lies LOUIE on the floor…quivering. As Dufus is “afeared of him”, I keep my floor clean AND get to watch him streak naked to the shower.
So here’s what happened! He’s driven all these miles, he’s at the most luscious #SilosBakery in the world, and after standing in line with 2,371 people he informs me that not only am I buying him A cupcake BUT he shall also have a cinnamon roll…… and Louie is at home….which is just as well because I can’t leave black and blue marks on his body when I drop him off at the emergency room after this feast, but he has the audacity to want half of my #Blueberrycupcake with streusel topping. And it’s #JoannaGaines’ fault because she hung this sign inside the bakery…..
