Hard First Step

Coworker: You like to bake, don’t you, Terry?
Me: Yes.
Coworker: Have you tried making cake balls?
Me: No. What are they?
Coworker: They’re a treat where you coat a cake and something else in chocolate.
Me: Sounds like a truffle make with cake.
Coworker: They’re easier and more fun.
Me: Well, one of the constituent steps is “bake a cake” right?
Coworker: Yep.
Me: That step one is the only step for baking a cake as opposed to cake balls which I imagine then have other steps.  Sounds harder.
Coworker: But they’re more fun.
Me: How are they more fun?
Coworker: Because they’re cake balls instead of a cake.
Me: *blank stare* I… have a meeting.
