history: I baked a delicious chocolate cake for my daughter's birthday. I couldn't wait for the party so took a little piece to make sure it was good. Next think I knew half the cake was gone! I baked a beautiful cake for my daughter's birthday. I had to make sure it came out good so took a little piece. How'd it taste? And what kind of cake was it?
current: It was chocolate. Well I kept taking more pieces and next thing I knew half the cake was gone. I felt so guilty I had to make a new cake.
next: Well, look at the bright side - you got a cake for the anniversary of you becoming a parent to your daughter, and your daughter still gets cake.  I kinda think everyone wins there!
