I went in to help the lass and her class cook up a snack yesterday morning. It was a fun hour or so. We cooked up a variation on Rice Krispie treats. Instead of putting it in a pan, we gave the kids a wad of the mixture to shape into a ball which they then put a popsicle stick to make a treat on a stick. Because everything tastes better when it’s served on a stick- like hot dogs, or ice cream.
Well, that’s what I’ve been told anyway.
My job was just to help out and provide a little light comic relief. Probably about the most I’m capable of handling. The lass was so overjoyed at having me there, she went into show-off-for-my-friends mode. Luckily, the teachers love her so it was no big deal. That and they’d had other parents in before to help out on other Cooking Fridays. They’d seen the act before.
Luckily, I got to leave before the sugar started to do it’s work. With the potential for 10 kids all getting a sugar high simultaneously, I was happy in the knowledge I wouldn’t have to deal with them.

Perhaps the teacher should be rewarded with a Starbuck’s gift certificate …. to give her stamina to deal with 10 sugar high 5-yr-olds !!
