Anyone who knows me at all knows that I have this thing for pink donuts.

I looooove me some pink donuts! In particular, cherry cake donuts with rainbow sprinkles. There have been times when I’ve obsessed with finding such a donut to the point that I drove 25 miles in my quest to find this wonderfully sugary decadence.

So of course I was overjoyed when we moved to Bend and I discovered that only a mile from our home is a place that sells my love, the pink donut.

This morning I decided to cheat on my diet and go to Richard’s Donuts for a little pink heaven. In my dozen for the family I got 2 pink donuts–one plain cherry and one with sprinkles (the lady behind the counter informed me that it’s called a “rainbow”). When I got home I had the plain cherry donut and savored every bite. I decided to save the rainbow for a little treat later this evening. Little did I know that there were other plans made for my midnight snack.

While I was gone to World Market exchanging a defective dining room table, Ryan was home with Matt. Matt was watching tv when he heard some rustling in the kitchen. He then heard a little voice purring, “Mmmmmm!”

Matt went into the kitchen and what did he find? My crazy son sitting on the kitchen floor with the pink donut box from Richard’s near his feet. In his right hand he clasped my rainbow donut–only it wasn’t the same donut anymore. He had chewed off just the top part; the wonderful cherry frosted part.

Apparently my resourceful child had grabbed the box from the counter and selected my special donut, even though there were 6 other donuts in the box.

I arrived home a few minutes after Matt’s discovery in the kitchen. Ryan ran up to me singing, “Maaa-maaa!” with something pink around his lips. I asked, “What have you been eating?” Matt pointed to the pink box on the counter and I knew immediately that the punk had jacked my donut.

Damn. Now I’m going to spend the next week obsessing about my stolen pink sprinkled donut.
