–Mr. Liverpool and I went to
Saint Shirley’s today for my brother’s birthday.
She serves gorgeous slices of white spongy
cake.
You know, the kind of cake with that thick-
silky- sugary-fluffy-butter cream frosting?
“Kimmy, do you want a piece?  She smiles,
passing me a plate.
“Not now, Mama.” I say.
“You sure?”
“Yep.”
“Okay, I’ll send some for the kids.”
On the way home, Mr. Liverpool asks:
“Did Saint Shirley send cake with you?”
I hesitate.    I mean, Why should he care?
I don’t want to tell him I have two gigantic
slices hidden in my purse cause I want to lick eat the frosting later with some diet
coke.
All. Â Â By. Â Â Myself.
I don’t want to tell him I’m addicted,
obsessed, and outrageously excited to eat every. single. drop. of that thick-
silky- sugary- fluffy- Â butter cream
frosting…
…while watching Netflix.
Finally I say, “No.”
Yes, I’m a
very naughty girl.
Anyhow,
When Mr. Liverpool
Finally goes to bed, I turn on the Swedish Version of “Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.”
Which kicks some serious ass, by
the way.
I seize my cake, diet coke, and
get all comfy on the couch.
With a fork, IÂ slowly
devour savor and scrape the frosting off both pieces.
I conceal the rest in the
garbage can.
Waaaaaay down to the bottom.
Early next morning, Mr.
Liverpool comes into the bedroom and says,
“Kim, wake up. I want to show you
something.”
“Are you serious?” I say. “It’s 5:30.”
I drag my butt out of bed and go
into the living room.
What do I see?
Charlie, otherwise known as Little Bastard is eating Saint Shirley’s
sponge cake in the middle of the carpet.
Crumbs are spread out all over
the damn place.
I can feel Mr. Liverpool’s smirk
burning thru my skin.
“BUuuuuuSTED!” He laughs.
I just let Little Bastard keep
eating.
But I’m seriously considering placing him in a home for Wicked Evil Cats.
Dear
Reader,  what have you been busted for recently? Do you have any mischievous pets?

So you only eat the icing, huh? That reminds me of one of my girl cousins who does the same thing. Years ago, I was at a wedding with her and she scraped the icing off her cake leaving it bald and pathetic looking. As I ate mine the RIGHT way, equal part icing and cake in every bite, I said to her, “What are you doing? Why aren’t you eating the CAKE?” She looks down at the mutilated thing sitting on her plate and says, “Who the hell would want to eat THAT?”

Dear e,
I am sure you could relate somehow.
What version of the word “Busted” did you use? Just curious. Xxx Love
My Inner Chick recently posted..Little Bastard
Kim, this was HYSTERICAL. I think everyone can identify with guilty pleasures. I get that way when I have a (rather large) package of Twizzlers. I have to be alone, reading something good, and then I light into them like a madwoman. It’s like a dog with a bone going to hide away. (Is it a primordial instinct that we’re afraid someone will grab it from us?)

I’m sorry – what was the question? I am laughing so hard my sides ache and my eyes are watering and I LOVE YOUR CAT. You do know that if you hadn’t lied, the devil wouldn’t have gotten into the cat and forced LB to search and seek out evidence???? There is no other explanation because if there was, you would NEVER have been so unprofessional (as a sneak-eater) as to put the cake in the bottom of the trash where the nosy cat with a history of wickedness would find it. You would have gone outside and thrown it over the fence. Trust me, I know what I’m talking about here.

Just tell Mr. Liverpool you were saving himself from a hypoglycemic seizure. That you hid the cake in his best interest.
Yeah, right.

Hahahahahaha!! That sneaky little kitty, outting you. I wonder if Little Bastard even enjoyed that cake, he knew what he was doing!
Sometimes I will sneak a little chocolate when my kids are around. I have to be very sneaky about it or they will see it, ask what I’m eating, and ultimately end up begging me for some. So I try not to let them in on it. Oh, wait, of course there is shopping. There have been a few times when I just won’t mention the new shirt or pair of florescent pink rainboots with cute black bows on them that were on sale and I couldn’t pass up. Those items will just slide right into my closet.
That cake sure sounded delicious! mmmmmm!

Kim,
Your Little Bastard has an equally bad cousin in Minneapolis.
His real and proper, recorded at the local vet name is Little Stink.
We kicked around things like little shit & damn cat, but thought the vets might think us unfit guardians for such an angel faced monster. So we settled on little stink. Even that has raised eybrows.
He has pried the lid off of tuperware to get to the chicken inside, He can open baggies to get to whatever goodies may be mistakenly left ungarded, and make no mistake he can open almost any cupboard.
The only reasonably safe vestibules left to house items in are the refridgerater or the microwave!
Love you.
Sue
HaaHAAaaa, Little Stink sound deliceously Evil!!

We must have these two cousin kitties meet very soon.
Would this be considered incest?
Love you, Too. Sue. xx
Oh Kim! Leave it to Charlie to oust you in that manner! That’s what you get for not throwing any evidence out the window! At least then the furry friend would tear things up outside of your immediate vicinity! hee hee! Thank goodness Mr. Liverpool is such an understanding man. The Significant Other would have whined and complained of my “non-sharing” ways for hours! I’m glad you got to eat all the frosting (only the frosting, eh?) and didn’t have to share with anyone. As far as I’m concerned, us women should be allowed our guilty pleasures without having to justify ourselves to anyone! Good for you!

Unless it’s ganache, I’m one of that rare minority that doesn’t care for frosting (although I have some sugar loving cats that would happily lick the frosting off any cake left on the counter). They’re amusing, but the better pet “oh no” was when I brought a friend a quick bread full size loaf of some sort – we went for a walk during which time her two large sheepdogs devoured the bread, plastic wrap and aluminum foil coated paper plate it was on (another friend’s rottweiler has actually eaten visiting teenager’s socks (you know, come to spend the night with daughter and dog starts devouring her dirty clothes .the thick white gym sock kinda socks.). Luckily said teenager was happy not to get them back, so no one attempted to collect and clean them when they “appeared”.
