Our church recently celebrated it’s 100th anniversary. A big BBQ bash with typical summer games and, of course, the standard Pie Eating Contest.
I smiled. I wished the potential eaters well and went on with getting my lunch.
Later I walked past the Pie Eating Contest table.
Cherry pie. Lots of it. ONLY for the contestants.
but but… I just want some cherry pie, pleeeeeeez.
Nope. Only contestants get the cherry pie.
*Idea!*
A plan is hatched. It is brilliant. I sign up for the contest. The only adult in a field of teens. Age category 13 and up. I am smugly beating the system. A whole pie! All mine!
*evil laugh*
I’ll daintily enjoy my pie while the savages devour theirs in a silly quest for victory.
I will already HAVE my victory. Cherry Pie.
MMmmmmmwwwwaaahahahahaha.
Then come the rules. NO HANDS.
Wait.
What?!
NO HANDS?! How can I daintily enjoy my pie sans hands?
*sigh* despair begins to set in…
NO. I will not be defeated.
I. Will. Have. Pie.
Get my hair out of my face! Let’s do this thing!
Mmmmmm hmmmm. No hands. But whatevs. I have my pie.
Can you believe this is my first pie eating contest?
I don’t win. I don’t even come close. I AM victorious, all the same.
So much for “dainty”.
I guess now I can add it to my bucket list then cross it off (that’s how I use lists).
When was the last time YOU were in a pie eating contest?
I want cherry pie, now. Looks yummy!
This is hilarious!! Way to go!
That is awesome!
Whatever it takes, Baby!!!
Oh, why wasn’t I there???
Hilarious!!!!!!!!!!
Are you implying that you would have beaten me?! huh? wanna make somethin’ of it?
Dear Jesus, Thank you that there was a camera!!!!
Batman had his phone and was not one to miss a photo op like this one. HEH
Oh My GOODESS! What fun! You are always full of surprises.
I do feel rather pleased with myself for having done it.
Note: Whipped cream does NOT smell good from inside the nostrils. *shudder*
I love your post: ‘eating at a pie contest’ (check). It does look like fun with a side of Tums with it too. I don’t think I could even come close to what you did. I thought you did great. Awesome job, thumbs up
Glad to connect with you on Bloggy Moms.
