Comic Relief

I thought this was funny, but my mother-in-law didn't laugh. Last weekend she was preparing shortcakes to serve with strawberries and sighed heavily.
I asked what was wrong and she said, "These shortcakes didn't turn out right."
I replied, "Why...did they come out too tall?"
At least I cracked myself up.
By the way, that isn't a picture of me. My teeth aren't yellow.
