['I got new neighbors recently. I wanted to do something nice so I baked a meatloaf for them. The problem is it smelled so good I had to try it first.']
Haha that's not a problem! You must be a good cook!
I baked my new neighbors a nice meatloaf as a welcome gift. It went well until I got so hungry I had to eat a piece. Then I ate another piece. Next think I knew it was half eaten. I felt so bad.
