I want you to come to my house.

Let's break open this KitchenAid mixer.

Teach me how to bake your cakes.

You taught me how to make everything except your cakes.

She says, baby, let me check my schedule.

Changes the subject, hangs up the phone.

I wait a week.

I call back again.

Hey, grandma, I just wanted to touch base about this again, because my birthday's coming up, and I thought maybe you could come to my house.

We could bake a cake together.

She said, now, Mina,

That was so long ago, I don't even know if I remember how to bake those cakes anymore, changes the subject and hangs up the phone again.

I wait one more week.

I call her back, Grandma, hey, my birthday's coming up, like right here, and I thought we could come to an agreement about you coming to my house, baking a cake.

She says, Mina, I got to tell you something.

Now I know you thought I made those cakes from scratch.

But me and I was, I was using a box mix.

And I don't know if you've ever heard the sound of your childhood deflated.

But this is what it sounds like because, no.

Not my grandma, my grandma has no use for a cake mix.
