The Sum Of All Tiers

It's "Math Story Telling Day," minions, but I don't see many equations on cakes. I do see a lot of numbers, though, and hoo boy, do those tell some stories.

Stories of reflection:

...and confusion:

Stories of time-travel!

(In the future, "tlera" will be the new "Jennifer." YOU READ IT HERE FIRST.)

And stories of ominous foreshadowing:

That evil smiley face says you better watch out, 1st Trent. Just ask 71th Donna:

Then there's the tragic tale of kicking Carol while she's down:

Harsh.

But on the bright side, some people are celebrating the little things in life:

Like happy poops.

That reminds me: we all know about #1 and #2, but apparently #3 is the dirtiest:

AW YEAH WEDDING WRECKS

Luanne H. writes, "We hired a local catering lady to do our cake. She showed up 45 minutes late, and THIS IS THE CAKE SHE PRESENTED TO US!!!

Yep, I'd say that's a wreck that deserves all caps and three exclamation marks, Luanne. Condolences.

Jessi H. writes, "When I showed the baker this cake, her literal reaction was, 'That's it? That's all you want? That's so simple!'"

Hey, confidence is good, right?
Unless of course it's on THIS blog, so... BUCKLE UP.

Please, Jessi, do go on.

 

"The day of the wedding, during the cake cutting, we joked about how we really didn't know how to cut it, but it didn't matter because we couldn't possibly make it look worse."

Ahh, but then...

 

They took the greenery off.

Thanks to Luanne H., Jessi H., and Stevie R. for sharing your pain. And to the rest of you, don't you have a wedding wreck to send us?!

P.S. The season is rapidly approaching...

..to hang funny-but-menacing yard signs!
They're both metal, and only $8 for the set.
