Any MOTY with school-aged children knows that each day, your child brings home approximately 83 sheets of paper, at least 14 of which are asking you for your time and/or money. So I can't help but feel a little delighted when one of these papers puts a genuine smile on my face. Can you spot the error in the form below that came home with my daughter yesterday? (No, it's not the double-spacing after periods or the tiresome passive voice or even the gross misuse of exclamation points.)

(No, it's not the double-spacing after periods or the tiresome passive voice or even the gross misuse of exclamation points.) Answer: Number of cakes. Number of cakes?! Excuse me, I'm sorry, let me wipe up the lukewarm coffee I just spat all over the kitchen counter. You mean to tell me that people are not only donating entire cakes, but they are donating so many cakes that they need to specify just how many? Oh my. God bless 'em.
