Cake vote

[cosmolinguist]

I told Andrew today I'd make him a birthday cake if he's good.

"Have you been good?" I asked.

"Yeah!"

"How? Give me an example."

Then the phone rang. When he got off it, having negotiated a compromise on something to do with his family, he said, "See, I've been good! I think that definitely deserve a birthday cake!"

"I don't know," I said. "I might ask people to vote."

"I'm bigger than you, so I get two votes," he said.

See, what he doesn't realize is that things like this only add to the no-cake side.

"Or maybe we get votes based on how many years we've been alive!" said Andrew, because for the next two months that'd mean he has four more than me.

This sounds a lot like the rules for Calvinball.

Now that I think about it, a lot of things Andrew says sound like rules for Calvinball.

I vote for cake!

Me too! I now feel disproportionately emotionally invested in whether or not Andrew got cake ... did Andrew get cake?

He didn't, only because I realized I was missing an ingredient after the small window of time that shops are open on a Sunday. He should get cake today.
