Oh, family time.

Here's a conversation indicative of a kind I have every time I'm with my family. I try to just drop it but maybe...if we just keeping repeating the loop, logic will prevail.

My aunt mentioned a cake. I heard my mother whispering in the kitchen.

"Mom, I know about the cake. I found it in the fridge."

"Oh. It was supposed to be a surprise."

"It was. I don't like cake."

"I know. But the kids will be here. Kids like cake."

"So you got it for the kids."

"No, I got it for you."

"But I don't like cake."

"I know, but the kids like to blow out the candles."

"So it's for the kids?"

"No, it's for you."

"But I don't eat cake."

"I know."

Am I the only one who finds this kind of logic completely perplexing?
