My Life As A Middle Child - Putting Together The Pieces

Is it just me???

Smothered Chocolate Cake
Topped with warm homemade chocolate ganache and sprinkled with pecan pieces.

Knowing he is not a big fan of chocolate (in my book, this just isn't normal) on Monday night, I mentioned possibly taking it to work and sharing it with Lumpy. He said no, he wanted to eat it.

Fast forward 1 week - I went grocery shopping tonight and had to make room for the new things I had purchased. Guess what I found in the fridge? Yup, you guessed it... the chocolate cake. He had never even taken a bite out of it. Here is where I am confused and need to know if it's just me.

1) I had to throw away a piece of chocolate cake - is it ok that I was teary eyed and actually considered eating it even though it was a week old?

2) Conversation with DH.
ME - Hey, you wouldn't let me take this piece of cake to work and yet you didn't even eat it.
DH - I was waiting for you to cut it for me.
ME - Uhh, I think you're big enough now to handle a knife and cut your own cake, not to mention that it is only 1 piece.

Now tell me, why is it that he can't cut his own piece of cake? (Personally, I would have just eaten it out of the container with a fork and not bothered to cut it at all.) My take on this is that I'm not his mother, I'm his wife. Am I right or wrong here? Please let me know your thoughts and if I'm wrong, I will apologize to him, purchase a new piece of cake and even cut it for him.

kgrams - who is still wanting to go dig out that cake and eat it.
