a cupcake story.

So, last Saturday pretty much rocked.  Here are the reasons why:

1. Our family got sealed FOREVER in the Salt Lake Temple
2. We got to see our family and party it up
3. Meier's (how do you spell that?!) chicken and mom's potatoes
4. Family pictures
5. Brynn joined the family for the party
6. WE GOT A FREE CUPCAKE FROM A STRANGER WHILE DRIVING!

And the last part is what I wish to share.  As they shared their cupcake and forever changed our lives.

So, we're driving down North Temple (or West Temple, or something... getting on the freeway), and like the law-abiding citizens we are, we stop at the red light, next to another law-abiding citizen.  However, this citizen happened to be carrying a passenger in their vehicle, who just happened to be chow-ing down on a cupcake!  It was then that Megan followed her impulsive desire to comment on said passenger's plight.  She leans over, so as to be in his view, and says out our open window into his, "Mmm.  looks delicious." 

His response was in the affirmative, and then the light changed to a bright emerald green, heralding us to pull forward and continue our drive.  As the cupcake-transporting car sped up, an arm popped out of the passenger window, bearing a cupcake, inviting us to speed up and seize the treat.  Karl did so, and for one brief, intense moment, we passengers thought the cupcake was smashed for sure.  But his grasp proved to be tender, and the cupcake was in our possession.  The cute, un-smashed, tempting cupcake, was in our possession.  

At the next reddened light, we thanked our fellow law-abiding citizens, and nodded our heads in appreciation as we departed.  They turned safely left, and we kept straight on until the freeway, disappearing on the horizon, the little Toyota truck becoming but a speck in the observer's eye.

And the cupcake was delicious.

(Lemony, in fact!)

THE END.
