This morning at breakfast Ella said to Jay "Ask Mommy what kind of birthday cake she wants."

So Lisa whispered in Jay's ear, "Chocolate."

Jay looked across the room at his grandmother and said "A baseball cake."

Lisa whispered, "No Jay, Mommy wants a CHOCOLATE cake."

Jay, straight-faced, looked at his grandmother and said, "Mommy wants a baseball cake for her birthday."

Lisa chuckled and said "No Jay, that's not what Mommy said". At that point, Jay started to smirk.

One last time, Lisa leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Mommy wants a CHOCOLATE cake!"

At this Jay tilted his head back, let out a big belly laugh and yelled "Mommy wants a BASEBALL cake for her birthday!"

Lisa said maybe she'll have to get a chocolate baseball cake....

Mike on the Bottom, aka Michael Zitz Beckham, is a journalist, smart-ass, and semi-pro baseball coach. It appears Jay is a lot like Dad.
