Sometimes, I bake

You know these brownies you gave me the other day ? asks Abi.
The special brownies, yes of course, I reply.
Mmmm. The Special Brownies. I didn’t realise just how special they were, she adds.
But I told you! I said: here are some Special Brownies. I did
!
so, on Monday I went home for lunch, and I wanted something sweet, you know? And I thought, perfect, chocolate brownies…

By this point I’m biting my fist trying not to laugh.

..right, so I took a bite, and thought, oh these taste a bit funny, maybe they’re off, but I won’t say anything, I don’t want to hurt Y’s feelings, and I drove back to work, and all of a sudden my hands were HUMONGOUS….

I nod, laugh and cry at the same time.

….I had to put my head down on my desk, and someone said ‘you look like you’ve smoked’ and then it clicked; and I had two meetings in the afternoon, and you know how hard it is to not giggle when you’re stoned?…

Tears of joy are running down my cheeks.

..so, when can I have some more?


Finally, my talents as a baker get the recognition they deserve.

That'll teach you not to leave the Special brownies out on the counter.... Or maybe it'll teach you to do it more often? I dunno. I've never eaten Special brownies (or Special anything else, for that matter). Don't they taste er...Special? Couldn't she tell they were Special?

Ah. So those are likely to be the kind of cookies with which the dark side lures the unwary...It all makes sense now. (Sort of..)

People, I don't make a habit of it/a business or anything. And that's because I' on the right side of the Law, me.
But I might make an exception for Kiera. It's her birthday soon, after all!
