To mark the acheivement (which he attained by filling up an intricate sticker chart) we threw a party. Earlier in the day Michelle made a "purple hippo cake" at Jared's request:
We also got some Little Caesar's Pizza (in typical fashion, we ended up with four pizzas after I picked up two pizzas at the wrong Little Caesar's and then felt compelled to go pick up the two we'd actually ordered from a different store)*. He also got a "black knight" from Target, and is currently watching his favorite movie, the latest straight to DVD version of Brer Rabbit, featuring Danny Glover as the voice of Brer Turtle and Wanda Sykes as Sister Moon.
It can hardly be disputed: it pays to be potty-trained at the Clark house.
* Maybe someone out there can help us understand how Little Caesar's can offer large, one topping pizzas for $5.00, crazy bread for $1.00, and a special "Party Deal" to buy two one topping large pizzas, and two orders of crazy bread, for the bargain basement price of $12.99.

Crazy Bread is 1.99 I think here plus like 75 cents for sauce. I have a friend who works there and brings us free pizza all the time, it's sweet. WOW, Michelle is talented, where does she figure out how to make cakes and do things like that?
I think the extra 99 cents comes from the utility you derive from associating your food with something fun like a "party."
If other companies were smart enough to create that extra utility through clever marketing, they'd all be selling their products in bulk for more than the individual item cost multiplied by the number of items! Like "Twix Happy Fun Pack" instead of "Twix -- 12 single bars" or whatever their marketing morons call it. :)
Dave. Perhaps the most dryly hilarious (and therefore welcome) comment I've ever had on this blog.
I think I saw that purple hippo cake featured on the Food Network a couple of weeks ago. But my question is: where did Michelle get the powdered hippo the recipe calls for?
A chef never shares her secrets Matt....
