“If the inside of the cake is blue, there will be another six weeks of winter. If it is pink, there will be an early spring,” she added. “This would allow you to still make the tourist dough while showing Phil a piece of decency. It would be as accurate as a Groundhog asking what you can expect in a way that does not even reflect his nature.”
