The day after Christmas, and we've all survived

I think anyway. So things around here were nutty. My mother bought her "grand-dogs" a remote control car for Christmas. Nothing is funnier than seeing two Cocker Spaniels jumping over the Germans Shepherd to get away from it, while the German Shepherd pulls the Scooby Legs to run away as well. I laughed, a lot. I will cherish the gift for years to come. So, since we're now done with Christmas, we've got some questions on how to handle the holiday clean up.

Thanks to all of you who have sent your questions in. My mother hasn't felt this important in years.

Dear Ask Mum,

What is the proper way to dispose of a fruit cake? Do I have to contact a HAZMAT team, or can I just throw it away? My garbage man said he wouldnÂ’t take it, is this legal? What should I do? Thanks for your help!!

Hates Fruit Cake


"I don't have a house cat but I still eat my fruit cake."

"Right...but....you know, normally I can figure out what you're trying to say, but I'm lost. What are you talking about?"

"You don't have to have a house cat to eat your fruit cake. What kind of statement is that?"

"Well, I don't know. That's not what they said, and I'm not sure what you think they said."

"They asked what kind of house cat you need to eat fruit cake right? Because you don't need one. One doesn't have to do with the other."

"You're right, I know, but let's think about how to get rid of fruit cake."

"Huh?"

"GET RID OF FRUIT CAKE!?!"

"You eat it."

"Okay, I realize you have an unnatural affection for fruit cake, but what if someone doesn't like it and their garbage man won't take it."

"Whywouldn'tt he take it, they take my leaves."

"..."

"What, they do? What's this person's problem."

"Coming to you for advice I think."

"What did you say?"

"Nothing. Okay, so you're saying throw away the fruit cake since the garbage man takes leaves?"

"Yes. Or eat it."

"Can they just mail it to you?"

"Ooooh! Yeah, I LOVE fruit cake!"

And we love you too. So there you go folks. If you have extra fruit cake this holiday season, and you have no way of disposing it, send it to my mother.
