Monday Freewrite- Prompt: frosting a cake
.jpg)
My mother took a wash once a year, whether she needed it or not, so suffice to say I had something of a reluctance to swallow any food she might prepare. Little wonder I was so thin. Not that she ever tried frosting a cake, but on the odd occasion she could see straight, and mostly after watching an episode of the Waltons, she would bake currant scones.
To this day I regard with a healthy suspicion all baked goods of the currant variety however, my brother would devour these culinary masterpieces, and I would spend the next few hours watching him like a hawk lest he show any signs of food poisoning.
These were pre-internet times and being in possession of a little book called SYD (see your doctor), which was a list of common illnesses and their symptoms, I was the appointed family physician. Though, truth to tell, I once pronounced my father dead when he’d merely passed out drunk while sitting on the toilet. Sure by the time he stirred, we had his body laid out like we'd seen on TV, arms crossed and hands resting on his chest.

Damned Waltons. So much to answer for.
