Birthday cake Quote by Michael Lee West
““A tofu birthday cake dosn't wreak a marriage; but if you cut the tofu into lewd shapes, you are probably asking for trouble. Looking back, I think we stopped being kind to each other. And we became competitors… Love cannot be sustained under these conditions, any more that yeast will proof in cold water.””
