Cream, Whip Thyself

(My friend is a nice guy, but sometimes a little slow on the uptake. He and his wife are over for dinner. I have made a cake and think that some fresh whipped cream will taste good with it.)

Me: *pours whipping cream into a mixer bowl*

Friend: “What are you doing?”

Me: “Making whipped cream.”

Friend: “What do you mean?”

Me: “I’m going to take cream… and whip it.”

Friend: “YOU CAN DO THAT?!”

(He’d only ever had the kind from the can!)
