Memory Monday - Just tryin' to help!

There was a little girl,

            Who had a little curl,

Right in the middle of her forehead.

            When she was good,

            She was very good indeed,

But when she was bad, she was horrid.

Well, one day, she was trying to be good, and help her mommy around the house ... so she decided to clean the floors.

So she went to the cupboard to find something to clean the floors with. Well, there weren't any of the things that her mother usually cleaned the floor with in there ... but there was some crisco! The girl knew that they often rubbed cake pans with crisco, and she really liked the way crisco felt on her fingers, so she decided that crisco would be as good as anything to clean the floor

Unfortunately, when her mother found her some time later, she did not agree. They had to clean the floor all over again to get the crisco off the floor - after her mommy took a picture!

So the little girl decided to that she needed to find another way to help her mommy. It was late, however, and she had to go to bed before she could come up with something. While falling asleep, she came up with a perfect idea! She could fix breakfast! Now, what to fix ... oh, she knew.  She could fix pancakes!

So the next morning, she tiptoed downstairs to the kitchen. Luckily there was a perfect pan on the stove (there was only a little bit of mushroom grease on the bottom), and she could reach the pancake mix and a spatula. She carefully poured the pancake mix in the pan, and started stirring it with the spatula.

She knew her mommy and daddy would be so pleased when they came downstairs and found pancakes all fixed for them. And when they did come down, they were! They were so pleased they took a picture!

And then they put the pancake mix back into the box, then poured up the right amount and made pancakes in a clean pan.
