STILL NOT A POST ABOUT BRENDON URIE
I went home over the weekend to see my little sister perform for show choir and to celebrate her birthday. (She's 17 now~ So old, what. When did this happen.) As per usual, when I arrived my house was in what I will call birthday panic, with my mom working on the cake and dinner and my dad stealthily creeping out to buy a present. My mom immediately informed me that I was in charge of decorating the cake since I am the artistic one, and also because she had no idea what to put on it; I in turn immediately turned to my sister and asked her what she wanted. "Oh, I don't care!" She said in exasperation and general irritation, as pre-show nerves/hairspray/family is wont to make her. "So...I can draw a butt on it then?" I asked.
"NO." she replied. Even after I drew a picture to show her how awesome it would be.
For some reason, this went over even less well.
Her rejection of my first idea was quite a blow. This one was also deemed unsuitable.
She drew an example of a cake that she would find acceptable for me instead. By this point we were both pretty hysterical so it died right away, her explanation of it to me being that it is a baby in a flower, like on Teletubbies (IT'S A SUN, I yelled I KNOW she yelled back) except it's got hair, oh and the Teletubbies are around it too, apparently textually represented. I would like to draw your attention to the so-called "rabbits" which are really one-legged mice. (This is because while she was drawing it I was shouting "The random bunnies!! YOU HAVE TO PUT THEM IN! OTHERWISE IT'S NO GOOD!" And come on, what is Teletubbies without the random bunnies everywhere?)
OH GOD her rabbits. So awful. I attempted to show her how REAL ARTISTES drew rabbits, but they ended up pretty awful as well. And a practice dinosaur for later.
Her idea again- obviously too boring :|
I attempted to make it more fun, but just got yelled at. ("YOU HAVE TO AT LEAST SPELL IT RIGHT, KRIS") Ultimately leading to:
This one was actually given a cautious thumbs-up, but ultimately rejected as well, mostly because it would be waaaaay too complicated to draw on a cake with my limited frosting skills.
She looked at this one for a moment and then said "...can you put an afro on the dinosaur?" Only my sister, you guys. Seriously.
IT'S FINALLY OVER.
So yeah! That's what my sister's cake looked like, and my family laughed about it a lot and it was totally delicious ♥ Maybe professional cake decorating is the true path of my future.
