Let her eat cake!

Tweet

My friends here know I have some serious food allergies. And some of you may remember last year when the new roommate got into my yogurt by "accident" and then offered me some of hers... Well, last night, she was messing around in the fridge and then I heard: "Oh!" like she realized she'd been caught or something. Then she said: "Oh, may I have one of your eclairs?" I thought about it. I really did. After all, the next day was her birthday. In the end I said: "No. You have cupcakes. I can't eat your cupcakes." I then reminded her about the yogurt. "Oh. Okay," she said, sounding disappointed. Then she shoves them back on my shelf and starts "looking" for her cupcakes. "They are on the top shelf." I say, coming in to get another glass of drink. She is digging around on the back of her shelf. "Is that the top shelf?" I ask. Later, I wrote the roomie about it, she agreed that they were mine and I can't eat what she can eat. Even later, when I was getting ready for bed, the roomie and D were talking in her room. Or should I say, the roomie was talking and D was listening. Its really hard to have a conversation with this woman, she won't respond if she doesn't like what the answer will be. Its a monolog or nothing. In fact, when I went in to say good night, that was the topic of conversation... Well, this morning, the roomie told me they also discussed the eclairs. D told her they sounded so good. And the roomie said that if she wanted some, she needed to get her own. That she sometimes gets some too, and maybe eats one or two and gives the rest to me. These eclairs are yummy and especially since they are corn starch/flour free that makes them safe for me. Most cakes and ALL powdered sugar have corn starch, making them unsafe. So, I told D that she could eat cake. And I don't feel bad about doing it. She had almost a dozen little cupcakes and I have only 4 eclairs, for those bad moments when you need a sweet.
