A Brink among Brinks

The other day Anneke informed me that her favorite food is bean sprouts! When questioned as to whether she liked them better than candy, she reflected a moment then concluded she liked them "about the same".
Yesterday she asked me if I was going to have cake for my birthday, and I said no, because I'm not a big cake-lover. She responded, "I don't like it very much either....it's too chocolatey."

"I shall be surprised at nothing after this, nothing!" (to quote Rachel Lynd)
