Conversation with Erica

Erica reminded me of these stories from some time ago.. 

Erica was just starting to learn how to cook..

Me:  What are you doing?

Erica:  Measuring icing sugar.

Me:  How much do you need?

Erica:  21 cups.

Me:  Really?!  (I quickly checked the recipe)  That says 2 1/2 cups.

Both of us:  Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
