Whoops…

So I told you it was my birthday on Sunday. Didn’t have a cake, although my mom did mail me 18$ in Baskin Robbins gift certificates. Every year growing up, I would have a Baskin Robbins mint chocolate chip ice cream cake. As I reached my teenage years, my dear family grew tired of this same thing every year, but I stayed faithful.

Anyway, on Thursdays, the good Mr. Ben has been holding a weekly gathering of believers in his and his wife’s home, for about two months. It totally rox. One of the other persons who attends is named Pam, and her birthday is on this week too! So we wanted to have a cake, so since I had the gift cert’s, I said I would get the cake.

Now, its kind of funny to order your own birthday cake, especially when you just told the lady that your name is Eric, and at the same time you want the same name written on the cake. I decided to have it read “Happy Birthday Eric and Pam!”, which sounds like we’re twins or something, but we’re not, we just both happen to be born in the coolest month of the year (stupid accidental unintentional puns.)

So I call up BR and order the cake, and because my phone is a piece of trash, she has trouble understanding me at some points in the conversation. This is a bad thing to have happen when you’re trying to order a birthday cake. The lady asks what I want the cake to have written on it, and I say “Happy Birthday Eric and Pam!” To verify, she repeats back to me, “E – r – i – c?”, and then “K – i – m?”

Now, those of you I will see Thursday afternoon, this is my formal apology if the cake doesn’t say what it should. To correct her error in thinking it was supposed to be “Kim”, I said the following… this is where it all went wrong: “no, not Kim, Pam, as in P-as-in-Paul – a m.”

Crap.

I have brainstormed what I think the cake will end up saying, and my best guess is that I’m going to get a cake that says, “Happy Birthday Eric and Paulam.” Oh well, if that happens, I’ll just eat the “aul” and then it will be, oddly, even odder: “Happy Birthday Eric and P___am.”

I guess you guys need a funny link, huh. I dare say there’s some of you that just skip down here to this part, cause sometimes my funny links are much funnier than my posts. Even more henious, I bet some people have gone through the archive, just cherry picking the funny links. I may have to start hiding them again, but not today. Anyway,enjoy.
