No shock there, considering how much work it is to raise a kid without a partner to lean on; yet to hear Sandra and Britney tell it, raising a kid on their “own” (read: with round-the-clock help) is a piece of cake.
Sometimes Bessie would come up to me in my lonely bedroom, bringing a piece of cake, sometimes she would tell me a story, and sometimes she would kiss me goodnight.
By the same token, having a big piece of cake with ice cream at a birthday party isn't that big of a deal, but most of us are loading up on sugar all throughout the day without noticing it.
