Today is my old college sweetheart’s birthday. I haven’t seen him
slightly under two decades. On this occasion, I would like to confess.
22 years ago, I gave him a present. It was a cake. It was a
cake that I said I spent hours making. The cake was in the shape
of a teddy bear. It was a replica of “Jensen”, a real teddy bear.
The icing detailed his fur and his little orange tummy. My boyfriend was
very impressed. He was really touched. He showed it to everyone
and they too marveled at it. I just smiled.
I got the cake at a bakery. All I did was order it to my specifications
and pay for it. Happy Birthday Tally.
