Only In Hillmomba, At The Hands Of Farmer H

Farmer H had a doctor appointment on Tuesday morning, for a fasting blood draw, to check levels of something to determine how long a new medication might be prescribed. The office called him Monday afternoon, with the reminder, noting that it was indeed a fasting blood draw.  

I don't micromanage Farmer H's appointments and meds. He's an adult. A non-compliant adult. He went off to his appointment on time, and mowed The Pony's yard (for pay), and came home to float around in Poolio while I went to the store.

After supper, Farmer H came to the kitchen for his dessert. Sometimes he has a handful of the little round Christmas ball Lindt chocolates that he got a while back at the auction, before the weather was hot enough to melt them. Sometimes he has cookies, sometimes an individual snack pie. But this time, he went to the stack of papers he'd put on the table, telling me that "we" need to fill them out to see if he can get a break on the high price of his diabetes meds (!) 

Anyhoo... Farmer H lifted up those papers and took out a flat box and opened it up to take out a donut! Not just any donut, but an APPLE FRITTER! Which is equal to about three regular donuts, in my opinion!

"Hey! Why do you have donuts?"

"You can have one. There are still two left. I took them to the girls at the doctor's office this morning."

"And for yourself, too, of course."

 

"Yeah."

 

Wait a minute. I thought that when you took donuts to somebody, YOU LEFT THE DONUTS! Otherwise, it's like taking a Marble Rye to a dinner party, and then taking it home with you, necessitating that you steal one later from a frail old lady, and try to get it back inside the apartment with a fishing pole. [Sorry for that reference if you're not a Seinfeld aficionado. Here's a 4:58 clip]

 

There were six apple fritters in the box when Farmer H bought them. I guess he opened it up, and held it out to the "office girls," and then closed up the box and carried it out with him. There were three left when he brought the box in the Mansion. So I guess maybe two "office girls" had a fritter, then Farmer H had one. He's not known to stop at one.

 

The only other alternative is to imagine that he bought TWO boxes of fritters, or a box of donuts and a box of fritters, and left one at the doctor's office. That means this morning Farmer H ate three fritters, then one after supper. 

 

Not sure which scenario is the most disturbing.
