I think I actually object to being called a cabbage more than I object to being called a muffin :P Oh okay :) It just occurred to me on the second reading that “No I didn’t!” could actually be said in an angry tone of voice!

I think I actually object to being called a cabbage more than I object to being called a muffin :P

I was only telling the story on my blog because I thought it was quite amusing, not because I was trying to accuse you of anything...

Unfortunately I'd forgotten that you weren't in the room when the conversation occurred, because you'd gone to fetch Mikeo. I'm sorry. <blockquote>And what would “You look like a muffin” mean, anyway?!</blockquote> I took it to mean that I was fat, because muffins are quite a round sort of shape!

And what would “You look like a muffin” mean, anyway?!

It was in reference to the fact that you've always been the sort to say you would never do a McDonald's or Burger King for breakfast. Then, when need necessitated it in April, we had to go to a McDonald's for breakfast, you loved the muffin (sorry, McMuffin), and we've been back on every stopover occasion. If I pulled a face it would have been because you announced what we were doing even though I hadn't been informed first. The comment was just in acknowledgement of how often we've been now: "You'll look like a muffin." (I meant "McMuffin", but you've seen before that I forget to prefix it. I didn't mean anything bad by it. It's the same thing we say to other people who eat a lot of the same thing: "You'll look like X." And what would "You look like a muffin" mean, anyway?!
