So, yesterday was my daughter’s seventh birthday, and we had a nice gathering at Chuck E Cheese’s with a few friends. However, when it came time to cut the cake, there was a small abnormality with it that was explained to me in more detail after the party. Can you spot the issue in the picture above?

Well, perhaps a closer examination of the center Care Bear will help. Notice that the frosting underneath is a bit, shall we say, disturbed? Also take note that, at the time of the picture, the candles had yet to be placed in the neat yellow squares, so the cake as a whole should have been practically untouched by human hands.

After the party, my wife informed me of just how – exactly – that Care Bear had gotten to the state in which I found him. I mistakenly had assumed that he had simply fallen over and been replaced on the cake, slightly off center from where he had previously been at rest. On the contrary, my four year old son had been seen licking the Care Bear before this picture was taken… but the story doesn’t end there. He had licked the bear, strategically placed it back as close to its original position as possible (getting more icing on it), and then proceeding to pick it up and lick it again. Apparently, this cycle had happened several times before the bear was placed back in the position seen in this picture.

So, what’s wrong with the picture? Only a four year old who is always on the move can say for certain.
