You Can't Bake Your Cake and Eat It Too

Robert blows out his Happy Birthday candles. David, Sal, Jack and Sallie watch. 

Can he really be 14?
2  weeks without an oven means no birthday cake for Robert.  It does make for a great story though. If the guy ever shows up to fix it then Robert will get his favorite funfetti birthday cake.  He did get pizza and a new xbox so I don't feel too sorry for him. At 14 he is easy to please.  As for the oven, here is what happened. About 2 weeks ago I am out running around and Robert calls..."Mom, don't freak out." What do moms do when one of their kids says that? Anyway, "The oven just exploded. But I am ok. "  When I got home I found the inside thermal glass in tiny pieces all over the inside of the oven. Apparently the heating element popped or something and shattered the glass. The repairman did come a few days later but as of yet we have heard nothing else.  I wonder what the expiration date is on that cake mix? Oh who am I kidding.... I'll bake it regardless. :)
