So Aline and Frankie decided to make some cupcakes. Not just any cupcakes, mind you, PINK cupcakes. As anyone knows who has read Pinkalicious over 20 times will know, too many pink cupcakes make your skin turn red, and one must offset such reaction by eating only green items such as broccoli, celery and lettuce. For my daughter, the green food is an acceptable loss. One must make sacrifices for the sake of pastel culinary expression.
So the way it works is, they make them, then we all sit on the floor and watch them bake. Its sort of a bonding moment. Normally, its filled with merriment and joviality….phrases such as “They’re almost ready!”, and “They are going to be delicious!”. Norman Rockwell stuff.
This time was a bit different. I had gotten up to look up a recipe for deep fried pickles when I heard my daughter’s sweet, innocent three-year-old voice say “they look like BUTTS!”. Obviously, I was intrigued by the comment. I nonchalantly walked into the kitchen and peered casually at the cupcakes baking in the oven.
At this point, it became difficult for me to sort out my feelings. For one, they DID look like butts. So much so, in fact, that I imagined it would be difficult to place one into my mouth after they were iced…especially if they were still slightly warm. Second, how did my sweet little girl KNOW they looked like butts? All children experiment with the nether-regions from time to time but to have actual working scientific knowledge of the appearance of said area was more than somewhat disturbing. I looked more closely and came to the conclusion that this cupcake,
and this cupcake
were the culprits. The others are close, but can still be explained away. Those particular two ended up in the trash.
At the end of the day, we all ate the cupcakes, and my daughter forgot about her analogy. But I believe, no…I KNOW that I will never, ever, eat a pink cupcake again without gagging slightly. Thanks, sweetie.

They do in fact look like butts. I need to go clean my monitor now. There is cereal all over it from laughing.

That is too funny…
Do you have a pet? Sometimes their, um, anatomies are a little more obvious without much examination…
Just a thought!

Just found out about y’all from Mr. Lady (thanks!) and just wanted to say that it is SO freakin awesome that you guys have such a selection of preemie clothes! My nephew just turned 1, he was born 8wks early, at 2.5lbs and I wish wish wish I had known about your site then! It was a month before he fit into the standard preemie wear, which wasn’t nearly as cute as yours. Anyhoo, thanks for doing what you do
