You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

How on EARTH is that nesting??? I nearly fell to my death trying to buy an imaginary sofa! And we have a perfectly nice sofa!

Apparently, your nesting involves building an actual nest.

If you are female and HAVE EVERY HAD A PENIS IN YOU you should be in Just In Case mode at all times.

Well. Only if you did it, you know, the-- what's that word I'm looking for? The other way.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

So they are trying to combat childhood obesity by making bake sale good no longer desirable? I guess that works. And next I suppose you'll no longer be able to have a Sees Candy fundraiser, you can only sell Whitman Samplers.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The goal is to combat childhood obesity.

That's insanity. How many homemade baked goods contain HFCS as their second ingredient?

I do know many classrooms have banned homemade goods from snacktime because of allergy concerns, but at a bake sale? Isn't baking kind of the point?

Getting started is hard, Daisy, don't let a speedbump derail you. To mix metaphors atrociously.

The PTA at each school is allowed to have one actual bake sale per month, but anybody else (like student clubs) wanting to have a bake sale can only use the prepackaged stuff or fresh fruit. This is actually in reaction to protests over the previous set of rules, which said one PTA bake sale per month and nothing else, ever.

When I was in high school, there was some group or other having a bake sale at least once a week, usually a student club that didn't get enough school funding to be able to go to a competition or something.

Band and sports pretty much sold slices of Little Caesar's Pizza year round out of the gym.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

When you put it like that, it does go to show how NYC has no real problems any more....

Our school also sometimes had pizza sales at lunch time. One person in the club who had a car and had study hall the period before lunch would go to a local pizza place and buy a bunch of pies, then sell them at about $1.50 a slice to kids who'd rather have pizza than school lunch, which was just about everybody. Easy money, and pretty much none of the clubs except for sports would ever have enough money without doing stuff like that.
