Yesterday my father instructed me not to buy him a tiny little ice cream cake. He wants a big ice cream cake. This puts me in an odd situation. The ice cream shop where I buy our holiday cakes, has 2 different types of cakes. The fancy, candy-ice cream cake that my father loves and the regular ice cream cake, that isn’t very special. The fancy ice cream cake comes in 1 size. The regular ice cream cake comes in many sizes. If I go home with a large regular ice cream cake, my father will tell me he wanted the fancy cake. If I walk in with a fancy cake, he will tell me he wanted a large cake. So I am thinking maybe I will buy 2 fancy cakes but that will most likely prompt the response, “I wanted a big cake, not two tiny little cakes!” I am caught in a Catch 22. Grrrrrr
