Pie Amnesia

Chris just came in to show me the almost empty pie dish. He was incredulous that only one slice remained. Come on, do you know where you are? Pies last about 1.5 days around here, so that’s about right.

I made two pumpkin pies yesterday, one for a friend whose family loves my pumpkin pie and was in need of a little pick-me-up, and one for my own family. Maxine is the biggest fan of this particular pie, but we all enjoy it. I think she had a couple slices last night, but since went to bed before everyone else, I can’t be certain.

Edwin, in disbelief, displayed the half-empty pie dish this afternoon, with much the same look as his dad gave me a few minutes ago. Maxine, overhearing him, swore, “I’ve only had one so far!”

I’ve had a few, too, but it just doesn’t add up. Somebody must have done some sleepwalking last night.

  1. That’s the thing about pie: there’s no keeping track. This family of four knows that we each get two biscuits from one stubby roll of Pillsbury. But pie is a definite free-for-all!
