Recipe For Cute
By Susan Mercedes. Filed in Family |
My kid, Elle, had a recipe she wanted to make. As most of you know recipes make me nervous. It usually involves a kitchen and shit. After learning there was no flame/heat required (read: I’m too lazy to help), I figured she could do it on her own. She is 10 and all.
She wanted to make playdough:
1 part flour
1/2 part water
1/2 part salt
Recipe calls for food coloring, which I conveniently don’t have. Hell I didn’t want a kid with purple stained fingers. Or a purple stained face!
Here’s what she created. The playdough and the faces. Coincidentally, they describe me over the last few days.
Yesterday was crazy. My face kind of looked like this.
But today it’s Friday and I’m starting it out right.
What would your playdough face look like today?

What does the face for “I’ve had too many margaritas” look like?

Kel: I’ll have Elle work on on that one. She can use my “I’ve had too many glasses of wine” face.

Groggy and tired, but accomplished.
