The Very First Dessert Fairy Day

It was a muggy Sunday the third week of August. Two newlyweds fresh from their honeymoon in Maui were feeling restless on their first weekend back home in the mainland. They were feeling puckish and so they called a family member and pretended that they had been invited over for some after dinner dessert, making her sister think that she forgot about the invite. They felt bad enough about the practical joke, called back and told her they would bring the dessert. They stopped on the way to get cake and ice cream. Before long they were on their way again but it was still early and their restlessness hadn't subsided.

Stopped at an intersection and feeling the need to go somewhere other than home their eyes caught the "Hot Now" part of the neon Krispy Kreme sign flicker to life. So they stopped in and picked up a fresh dozen as it rolled off of the conveyor. The impulse to buy was there but the appetite was not. Another impulse, the uninvited dessert delivery was still in full effect and a good friend lived right around the corner.

Alas, she was home and so they shared donut. There was no way she could eat them all but her boyfriend was always open to an offer of free food. So they knocked on yet another door and delivered another treat.

The next morning as they hung over their coffee mugs they laughed about their treat giving spree. He decided that they should make it a tradition and she agreed.

Those are the facts. Of course, it's much more quaint if you imagine it playing out as one of those Rankin & Bass animated holiday specials like Santa Claus is Coming to Town
