And in the “That Wonder Woman sure is a good sport” category, I give you the “after” shot. (And in case you missed it, here’s the “before.”)
Yes, last night, after I finished reading Zan his bedtime story, I came downstairs to find Wonder Woman doing this.
Sadly, we were in bed before it had cooled. But, hey, that’s nothing a little insomnia can’t fix, right?
So, around midnight, after making some futile attempts to suppress the visions of apple-pie-eating that had been dancing in my head (placed there, no doubt, by the smell of freshly baked apple pie that was wafting about the house), I had a glorious epiphany, which went something like this: “Hey, wait a minute … I’m almost 40, and this is my house, and if I wanna get up in the middle of the night and eat apple pie, I can just go ahead and do it! Hot-diggity!” Turns out this “being a grown-up” shit ain’t so bad!
When Zan came downstairs this morning and set foot in the kitchen, his whole body perked up, and his first words were, “Where’s the pie? I smell apple pie! Where is it? I want some pie!” Well, seeing as how I got the first slice in the middle of the night while he was sleeping, it only seemed fair that he have an early morning slice of his own.
Point being: thanks for making the pie, honey!
Makes me wonder what else I can get by calling you out in the Photo of the Day. Hmmm …
P.S. Yes, it is as delicious as it looks; I’m literally salivating as I write this. Pardon me while I go dig into some more pie.

Crap, now I have to go to bed without apple pie… wait, I have a piece of key lime pie in the fridge. It’s no apple pie but it will do.
I’m so happy for you! Isn’t getting old great? You can even eat apple pie in bed if you so please!
I typically like apple crumb pie better. But I’m not sure if it’s the photography or what, but that’s a GOOD looking pie! I hope it was worth the wait.
YEAH APPLE PIE!!! And, boy, does that look like a good one!
Dang! I want pie in bed too
You Lucky F**k… um… I mean DUCK! 
Your wife seems to have mastered something I have never, in my numerable years of apple pie attempts, been able to achieve – a non-soggy bottom crust. I beg of you, have her put up the recipe on your blog!!
you are a passive aggressive tool, with your nasty comment on Dooce.com and this before/after pie shit. i’m sorry for your wife.
Aw, Mom! How many times do I have to ask you to stop leaving hurtful comments on my blog?
