The Sunday Funnies

Our primary presidency gives a FHE lesson and treat to the birthday kids. It just so happens, that Aussie's and Savvy's birthdays are tomorrow {hooray for double digits!} So, today the kids brought home their primary gift. Savvy was quite excited because there was a packet of punch in her kit.

"Mom, can I make it? Can I make it?" she begged. "We didn't even eat our treat last year."

{For the record, last year's treat was microwave popcorn--and we did eat it--just not for a FHE treat}.

"Sure, go ahead." I answered.

At that point, I failed to pay attention to the complicated steps she used in making up her packet of punch. {Okay--so the steps aren't really that complicated...but they are important.}

"Jay, will you taste my punch? It is kinda sour," I overheard Savvy say.

See Jay drink. See Jay's face scrunch up. See Jay perform a fabulous spit-take.

"Savvy! Did you pour the whole packet into one cup?" she asked.

"Yes," she answered.

"Ooooh! It's so gross! Did you even add sugar?" Jay said.

"Ummm. Sugar?" she answered.

Who knew making punch could be so difficult? {I guess I should be relieved that she learned how to make it before her 10th birthday. }

I can't believe you are neglecting your children's education like that. Can't make kool-aid? Is essential life skill. Next, you should show them how to tie their won shoes. Tut tut.
