“I can’t believe they used the wrong sprinkles. For the mayor’s retirement cake. In *plain view* of the whole town council.” “They were pink. Pink is a perfectly acceptable sprinkle color.” “For a baby shower, maybe. But Melvin Hargrove has been the tax assessor for forty-three years. He deserves dignified blue.” “He deserves a slice without someone interrogating the icing. Hand me the spatula.” “You’re not listening. If the sprinkles are wrong, what else is wrong? The filing cabinet in the back office is crooked. Mrs. Drummond got her receipt written in green ink instead of black. It’s a *slippery slope*, I tell you.” “It’s a *bakery*. The only slope here is the one we’re about to slide down if you don’t let me finish this buttercream.” “Fine. But mark my words—this is how chaos starts. A wrong sprinkle here, a lime-green receipt there, and next thing you know, the town’s Christmas parade float is sponsored by the wrong feed store.” “Pass me the blue sprinkles.” “…They’re in the second drawer. Under the napkins. And you owe me an apology when they thank you tomorrow.”
