Oma's questionable apple cake

26/3/06

Oma baked a cake yesterday. We could smell it when it was baking and it smelt delicious. When it was finally ready I was thinking I can’t wait to taste this. But tasting it was a different story! It didn’t really taste nice. I ate the first piece then stopped.
Oma told me in German to get some more. “Oh nein,” I said, “Ich bin sat” (I am full).
Jess half-smiled and mouthed, “Are you really?”
“Sort of,” I whispered and giggled, “Not really.”
Jess found it hard to eat her next piece of cake because she was trying to stop laughing. She was giggling so much and finally she ran out of the door and burst out laughing. I couldn’t hold it in anymore. I burst out laughing too. I was holding my sides and laughing so hard I literally felt like I was crying.
Man by the time I was finished laughing, I looked like I’d been bawling my eyes out! No one got to hear why; we didn’t want to say in front of Oma and her questionable apple cake. Really, I don’t know why we found it so funny.
