Like A Kid In A Doughnut Store

First, why is it that “donut” is so much more common than “doughnut”?  I would prefer to eat something that was once dough than something that was once do.  I mean, it’s not like it even makes it that much easier to pronounce, since “dough” is always pronounced “doe” and “do” is – except in the case of “donut,” pronounced “doo” (or “dew,” if you want a less scatological pronunciation guide.

But I digress.

Every so often on a Saturday morning, Margaret and I venture out to get coffee and some sort of pastry something for breakfast.  Margaret has begun to take an interest in what is going on.

This may become a problem.
