A bully, a Suzy-Q, and a birthday cake.

Once upon a time, when cute little Taber was in elementary school, his mom packed him a lunch and lovingly included a Suzy-Q for dessert. To Taber, Suzy Q's were the crown jewel of the hostess kingdom, and he was so so excited for his special treat. 

When lunch came around he carefully pulled out his snack cake, mouth watering in anticipation, but just as he was about to eat it, some punk bully kid snatched it right out of his hands.  He begged the kid to give it back but instead the boy sprinted off across the cafeteria. Taber ran after him, as he closed in his hope of retrieving the Suzy Q grew stronger. But just as he was about to catch him, the boy turned around, ripped open the package, looked Taber in the eye and LICKED the Suzy Q! Defiling the cake with his big fat disgusting tongue. 

Taber burst into tears. 
It was a moment that would haunt him for decades. 

How could anyone do that to such a cute little boy? 
I have no idea. 
All I know is Taber told that story to his HR team one time and they thought it was so hilarious that they surprised him on his birthday with a very special cake. 

His very own, giant homemade Suzy Q.

The best part was, it was completely bully tongue free. :)
Props to his HR team. They totally made his day.

That cake looks A-MA-ZING!! How funny that his team did that, but seriously, what a sad story! Kids can be so mean! Glad Taber is getting to make up for it these days with all of the awesome desserts he is getting!

Oh, my goodness! That little boy Taber is about the cutest thing ever. What a funny story. Henry just saw that picture, and now he thinks he might want a cake like that for his birthday. We'll see.
