vicious cycle

Doug asked if I would make brownies on Saturday night and I told him I would. Well, then we needed to get some ice cream to go with the brownies. And then, as a family, we ate all the brownies, but there is still ice cream left over. So today I'm making more brownies to go with the leftover ice cream. Most likely, we will eat all the ice cream and still have brownies. So we'll go get more ice cream. And then we'll have extra ice cream and will have to make more brownies. Sigh.
