Is An Apple Fritter a Donut?

I cannot express how ecstatic I was when someone gave me a coupon for a free donut. Normally, I am not overly excited about "free."

All I had to do was fill out a little survey online and they would send me a code that would guarantee me a free donut. In my "daily diary diet," I have a whole section devoted to the subject that when a forbidden food is free it cancels out all calories.

When I first told the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage, she looked at me rather strangely and said, "Who said that?"

I know we are both getting old but we are not that old!

I got close to her, waved my hand so she could see me and said, "It's me. I just said it. Can you hear me now?"

"That is not funny. You know exactly what I meant."

My grin drained from my face and I said to her, "Well, I said it."

"Did," she said inquisitively, "anybody ever say that before you said it?"
