dreams can be so quirky sometimes

Last night I had the following dream:

My aunt decided she was going to have another baby (granted her youngest child is now 14 - this is not someone who is actually interested in getting pregnant in reality). So, she does just that, only instead of a baby, out pops a pound cake. Baffled, I turn to my other aunt and ask if she's ever heard of such a thing happening before. She said, "Yeah, it used to happen back in Bible times to some women, as punishment." And I ask, "Well what do we do with it?" She replies by saying, "Just put it in the closet, I guess. It's not like you can eat your own baby, even if it is a pound cake." I then see a big basket of juicy cherries and proceed to tell my family that it must be a sign from God that we should, after all, eat this pound cake.

Yes, I actually had that dream. And "nothing" is the answer to the question, "What were you smoking last night?", that I was asked by my aunt when I called to tell her about the dream this morning.
