spookyeviloneI don't generally ask people what they want, because I feel that if I ask, it more or less obligates me to do everything in my power to fulfill whatever want they come up with. I have a very long resume of accomplishing even the most bizarre requests.
So you'd think that someone who's known me as long as $Good_Twin has, that he'd know better than to answer, "What do you want for your birthday?" with "Marzipan My Little Ponies! An entire ARMY of them!" And, perhaps, that my calm reply of, "Ok" should have set off every warning bell the boy has.
Apparently you'd be wrong.
He was born at exactly midnight, August 7. I decided this called for a two-day pony event.
He just called me a little while ago, screaming incoherently because his doorbell rang and, arrayed on plastic sheeting on his lawn, were 100 My Little Ponies, made out of marzipan and pulled sugar, all individually painted with different MLP decals.
It apparently took him awhile to get them all in the house.
I'm waiting for him to go back to sleep.
Because what's better than 100 marzipan My Little Ponies?
200.
Of course.
