Marc's thoughts on Lent

My hubby's father had a big Mardi Gras party Tuesday night. I was explaining to Marc about Mardi Gras, Lent, why people eat pancakes, etc. When I was done, he said, "So, you have to give up really good stuff for 40 days? I couldn't have butter in my grits for 40 days? Sheesh. Wow, Mom, thank you SO MUCH for not believing in that stuff!!"

You're welcome, bud. No problem. Let's go eat some more chocolate cake for breakfast.

Chocolate cake for breakfast sounds good. :) (I deleted my earlier comment because of a typo!)

Ok, now I have Bill Cosby's "Dad is great" song in my head. And I want chocolate cake.

I was always glad we never "celebrated" Lent. I could eat chocolate all year long. Yum.

Which comedian was it who talked about how chocolate cake is nutritious? Was it Seinfeld? After all, cake has eggs and flour, and they're both breakfast foods, aren't they?

Beulah, that was Bill Cosby: "Dad is great, he feeds us chocolate cake!"

Great post here, Liseysmom!
