When I came back to the house after church this morning, Lois was waiting for me at the door.
Lois: “Did they serve refreshments at your church today?”
Me: “Yep, they always offer coffee and treats after the service.”
Lois gave me a sly grin: “Did they serve Devil’s Food or Angel’s Food cake?”
I grinned back at her because I could tell that she’d been waiting all morning to lay this joke on me: “Nope, I don’t think so…”
Lois: “Oh that’s too bad, cuz you can tell a lot about a person by which of those cakes is their favorite!”
Me: “Is that so? Which one is your favorite then?”
Lois: “Well don’t be silly, Devil’s Food of course!”
I laughed: “And what does that say about you?”
Lois thought about it really seriously for a minute: “It says that I love chocolate.”
Me: “Is that all?”
Lois looked confused, like she was forgetting something: “Yep, I think that about sums it up…”
I tried to help her remember her joke by giving her a hint: “Nothing about devils or angels or heaven or hell?”
Lois looked at me like I was crazy: “Well don’t be silly! It’s only cake!”
