How to get rid of a sheetcake
Remember the raccoon that was dragging garbage around my backyard a month ago?
Well, I thought he was gone. The garbage shredding has been minimal for weeks.
But then last week, my brother and my roommate celebrated their 24th birthdays. Then they left to go fishing for a week.
That left my other roommate, Joann, and I with a 30-inch, red, white and blue birthday sheetcake in the kitchen.
I couldn't have such a giant, sticky item in my kitchen for a week. So I threw it out.
The next day, the garbage can was tipped over, and there was frosting EVERYWHERE.
The raccoon ate it. The whole 30-inch thing.
He took it like a champ, apparently.
We figure from our house, he went rummaging through the neighbors' garbage cans for used insulin syringes. Then he joined a support group.
Imagine Mr. Raccoon coming home to Mrs. Raccoon, covered in neon red frosting.
It was an unpleasant night in that tree stump.

You *threw out* a perfectly good sheet cake when you could have brought it in to work for your co-workers!?!
(You *know* we would have eaten it.)
