While eating our comped lunch at the casino on Tuesday, talk turned to donuts. My sister the ex-mayor's wife brought up the topic.
"Did you know this town has a Krispy Kreme donut store now? Last time we were down here, we picked some up." Sis went to college there, and knows way more about the town than me or Hick.
"I did not know that. Genius and The Pony LOVE Krispy Kreme. Whenever the school clubs were selling them as a fundraiser, I had to buy TWO dozen. One for each boy."
"Those were just plain glazed, right? These at the store are so much better! They have all kinds. Cake donuts, filled, long johns."
"Yeah, the school donuts were always plain glazed. The sponsor or a relative would drive up to the city, and pick up the order. I never did like the Krispy Kremes. Too messy. Too sweet. But the boys would go through three or four a day."
"They would really love these from the store."
The conversation moved on then. I didn't think any more about donuts. Sis and the Ex-Mayor left at 2:00, to get home in time to host her overnight guests. Hick and I stayed at the casino until 2:30. While sitting up front waiting for Hick to appear, I got a text from Sis.
"Just bought 2 dozen donuts. All varieties. You should stop."
"No! You are trying to kill my driver!"
"Oh. Sorry. I actually forgot that he can't have them."
"He already had a Casey's donut this morning when he took the car to town for gas. It took a lot of interrogation to get that out of him, but I wasn't a teacher for 28 years for nothing!"
"Forget I even mentioned it."
I didn't forget she mentioned it, but I DID forget to tell Hick that they'd stopped for donuts.
Co-incidentally, I got to my daughter's house last Friday and there was a large Krispy Kreme box on the table. Mmmm, yum! says I and opened it to find it empty :( guess I'll stick to the almost diet after all.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a cruel twist of fate! I don't even like them, yet I feel your pain.
DeleteI love donuts and would likely kill for one. Almost as much as I love diet coke. I remember I would buy a dozen donuts and then clean my whole 3 story house and eat every donut in one day. Of course I was younger and running up and down three flights of stairs and chasing kids.
ReplyDeleteThe kind I love are the Casey's convenience store cake donuts. Especially those with maple flavored icing, or just the cinnamon sugar. Dang it! I'd better not let myself buy one when I stop in there for scratchers tomorrow!
DeleteWe used to get them by the dozen when both boys lived at home. They'd go in with me and pick which kind they wanted to add to the box. I did not have an opportunity to eat a dozen. Not with two boys for competition!
