Az the Husband brought home doughnuts today. He was on an errand in the vicinity of my favorite bakery and picked up some bread and half a dozen of those sweet, frosted circlets of goodness.
He served a doughnut each to JellyBean and Sweetpea. I did not immediately go downstairs. I was reading blogs. Az the Mostly Patient knows how long I can spend reading blogs, so he came upstairs to get me. He closed the box and left the doughnuts on the table.
A few minutes later, I came downstairs to find this scene of devastation.
They had eaten the frosting off of every doughnut. None had escaped. They had not even eaten the entire doughnut.
I call this one “Disenchantment.”
Once two-year-old Sweetpea saw me take out the camera and snap pictures of the sullied doughnut carcasses, she decided they must still be appealing.
Her little hand reaches up.
She tests for sufficient stickiness to indicate frosting remnant.
One more frosted crumb enters the belly of the toddler.
Ah, my lovely doughnuts. How I will miss you. We never even had a chance to get acquainted.
That’s hilarious and SO, SO familiar!

Using My Words
Sullied donut carcasses? Too funny! Did Az the Marvelous go get you some more?
The carnage is amazing.
I’m usually the one that does that…

See? We’re working with heathens! Savages! Turn your back for a moment and all pretense of civilization ends!
Doughnuts are like little circles of heaven that are really from hell. It’s just that you don’t realize it until your butt gets large.
I love the last photo!
PS: John and I still laugh about your ‘Prepare to be dismayed’ post. “Are you tempting me, Satan!? Hahaha… that doesn’t stop being funny.
I got all nervouse about quote marks just now and took them off. Heh.
Oh my gosh, that’s so funny!! I love the pictorial. I remember Diminutive One being the same way. He’d eat the frosting off of anything but leave the rest untouched.
disenchantment – ha!
So funny!!
Oh yes. We have experience the mass donut carnage at our house as well. It’s not pretty.
And they are not even PMSing yet.
My kids only ever eat the frosting off of doughnuts.
You DID slice off the eaten bits and eat the untouched doughnut bottoms, correct? That’s what I would have done.
My eyes! My eyes! Oh the horror! The donuts, they’ve been mutilated!
May they rest in peace. In the garbage. (Because, really, what’s a donut without frosting?)
And may Az the Even More Patient buy you some whole donuts real soon.
Oh, man, that made me laugh. That’s exactly how my son eats doughnuts. “The Disenchantment.” LOL
Um, I suppose that’s the difference between you and me: I would’ve eaten the darn things anyway!
Let’s see. Depending on the time zone, this appears to have happened about 20 hours ago.
Have they come off the sugar high yet?
Oh, and also? This person:
“slice off the eaten bits”
Has a lot more restraint than I do. What slice? Half the time my meal consists of the cold macaroni left on their plates!
Oh my gosh if it weren’t so cute it would be such a bummer. But like #15 said, I’d probably eat one anyway.
*laugh* What a sight!
That happens to my niece all the time, even though she is already 4-years-old….
Ha ha! Little sassies! My little rugrats do the same thing.
Oh, I love those pictures! But your header – brilliant!

i’m so sorry for your loss!
This is so funny and my girls would so do this. And as I have no scruples, I’d eat the left over already bitten pieces.
Oh man! My youngest son does that, too and it makes me so mad! LOL.
So amazingly tragic! I love all the photos. And the chubby toddler finger looking for one more taste…thank you for sharing the pictures.
