I Will Have to Manage

I went to get pie at the bake store.

I had an image in my head of a nice slice of apple pie. With ice cream on top. That sounded nice to me. 

But when the waiter came with my pie, it looked… not how I wanted.

So I asked for a beverage instead. A milkshake with whipped cream on top.

And that milkshake was creamy goodness. I left feeling happy, full, and satisfied.
