Beat brown sugar, flour and butter mixture until fluffy--it said.
And I tried--then it happened.
After 60+ years of faithful service, one beater fell off long before the mixture was fluffy.
How often I've felt 'one beater short'.
You know the feeling: One nickel short of having two to rub together; six inches short of being tall; one ingredient short of having what you need to bake the cake you promised for the school cakewalk; etc., etc., etc.
But this is what I learned from the one little whirly-thingy holding tight: it kept working. It might have had to work a bit harder, but it stayed 'plugged in', held fast, and continued to work hard at the job it was meant to do without complaining that it had no help, and eventually produced the right amount of 'fluffy'.
I don't think I need to elaborate.
Oh, that I might be so faithful!
