I am apparently meant to be a man in the 1950s

My husband came home the other day very excited about his Dollar Store purchases.

He had bought two large cupcake carriers and a cake stand and cover.  "They were only a buck each!!" he said proudly.

Like so, except our cupcake holders have only one level.


I was perplexed.

"Why do we need special Tupperware for cupcakes?" I asked.  "Doesn't our normal Tupperware work?  Plus, how much will be making?"

It's not like I had any objection to his spending $3 on baking containers... I was just honestly confused.

Jonathan raised an eyebrow, then said very gently, "Honey, we have almost three children.  Think of every birthday, every special occasion where we'll bring things to school or temple."

"Oh my god," I exclaimed in horror.  "You're going to bake cupcakes EVERY BIRTHDAY???"  

He started to laugh.  (I've noticed this happens often regarding things in the kitchen.)

Once he recovered, we worked out an agreement.

I will be required to do nothing to help unless I want to... but I will forever be the family taste tester.
