Years ago, before I was aware that women's underwear sizes were NOT the same as their pant sizes, I gave my then girlfriend some full coverage panties that she had been needing to go under her nursing scrubs. Thinking I was really scoring big with this well needed and thoughtful gift, I waited in anticipation as she opened the gift wrap. When she pulled them out of the package, instead of throwing her arms around me and giving me a big hug, she burst into tears.

"You think I'm so fat that I'll fit into these enormous Granny panties?" she cried as she threw them on the floor and left the room. What I bought were enormous, old lady underwear that were about half the size of a pillowcase, so huge they could have been flown on a flagpole. Oops, that didn't go as planned. That's when I learned size 18 in pants was not the same as size 18 in underwear.

Today, over twenty years later, I was strolling through the bakery in Walmart when I spotted these cute, personal-sized conversation heart cakes. I first thought January was a little early to be putting these on the shelves, but couldn't resist taking a peek at the Valentine messages. The first one I picked up had a typo. Instead of Hug me it said Huge me. No one, especially on Valentine's Day, wants their insecurities validated on a cake message. Someone who's not paying attention is going to think they're getting bonus points with this cute cake...then they're probably going to get the same reaction I got years ago. Oops. Sometimes you're not even aware you screwed up until they start crying!
