Today is National Chocolate Cake Day and She Who Must Be Obeyed and I had a disagreement

I said chocolate cake is a breakfast food, and she vehemently disagreed.

I only recently discovered she hides the Oreo cookies in plain sight in an empty bran flakes cereal box, but for the love of Pete, I can't find where she hides the cake.

Any ideas?

this is coming from a guy who ate a couple of molasses cookies for breakfast:

Did you wife seriously hide Oreos inside an empty cereal box? If so, is that because she doesn't want you to gobble them up on her or because she's too ashamed for you to know that she's secretly been consuming junk food?

Women are grazers, men are gorgers. The second thing I know for a fact is molasses cookies are definitely breakfast food.

But I have seen my wife, who's a healthy weight, almost polish off a large bag of chips. She doesn't do it regularly (and regrets it when she consumes that much), but she is capable!

and it's deplorable watching her nurse a chunk of dark chocolate for, like, forever, that God intended us to eat in one bite. I used to think she did it just to tease me, but I learned she actually enjoys nibbling at it in tiny bites. Disgusting!

when you're savoring some chocolate cake. No doubt she got a bit sloppy. Keep your eyes peeled.

But the frosting is a another story entirely, it's totally sticky and gooey. I should start examining the doorknobs throughout the house and follow the trail.

Sorry I don't have a suitable chocolate cake in the house for breakfast tomorrow.
