I just slid the pan of yum-yums into the oven. I'm taking them to the party tonight.
But here's the thing. Because none of my children, and clearly not my husband, will be eating them, I put nuts in them. I like nuts in cookies and brownies and yum-yums. I also like my family, and they don't like nuts. For them nuts prove the ruin of many good things. So I leave out the nuts for their sakes.
But tonight . . . well, the nuts are in there. And I'm pretty sure no one will ask--and certainly not in that strange slurred way Wayne sometimes used for being funny--"Does it have nuts in it?"

look. don't lump me in with your "children." i eat nuts. i put nuts in yum yums when i make them.
Are you not one of my children? I have always, at least for more than 35 years, thought you were. That you like nuts in yum-yums is news, good news, but still news.
I am one of your children. I like nuts. I even eat walnuts sometimes.
I do not, however, like walnuts in baked goods. Now, does that make me such a rotten person?
I believe I said I like my family. I do. I love them. That some of them do not like nuts in baked goods does not make them rotten persons and has no bearing upon my affection for them. After all, didn't I say I leave the nuts out for their sakes? Yes, I did.
yum yums????????
