A Matter of Proper Alignment

You laughed earlier. I noticed. Balancing cake while learning to walk is serious work, not comedy. To prove it, I navigated from the rug up the wooden leg of the low table. It took four methodical pauses to ensure zero tilt. On top, someone left three square ceramic coasters. Completely haphazard. Diagonals all wrong. I used my free foot to nudge each coaster until their edges formed a precise ninety-degree grid. Then, I set my pink cake slice dead center on the neatest tile. No crumbs lost. Exactly parallel. See? Handled entirely by myself.
