Brownies

We were all sitting down eating our waffles for breakfast on Sunday morning when my Mom walked by the remnants of last night's dessert: about half a pan of very, very good brownies.

Mom: Who's been mangling the brownies?

She then proceeded to "straighten" the edge of the brownies, the line between brownie and pan, a currently haphazard and jagged line due to a lack of cutting skills on the part of an unknown person, plus the fact that brownies are so soft and crumble so easily that sometimes a chunk that should belong to one brownie is served out with another...

Me: I don't think they were really mangled...I think she just wanted to "straighten" them out.

Rebekah: I straighten them all the time!

Jake: I do, too. Like every time I walk by.


All this provokes the question.... With all the straightening of the brownie line that goes on in this house...why is it that the brownies are never straight?
