Candle Envy

'My mum told me that everyday is my birthday. It turned out she was addicted to beer and cake' - Sarah Silverman

When I was a kid I decided to learn an instrument, so I enrolled in lessons and began a concerted five year mission to avoid playing the violin. During that time my nan made me an awesome violin shaped cake. For some reason I went balistic because someone else had the audacity to position the candles on my cake. Luckily i'm a mature 28 year old now, so when Jen surprised me with a cake adorned with pre-positioned candles this morning I buried that rage deep inside and smiled like a grown up.

If I ever go postal, it'll be caused by years of suppressing candle envy.
