Whizz Bang Pop Chef
Me: Henry, do you want to help me cook supper this weekend?
Henry: Yes! I've been waiting forever to do that!
Me: OK. You get to choose the menu. We could do lasagna if you wanted.
Henry: Does that take a long time?
Me: Not too long.
Henry: OK, then not lasagna. I need something that takes a long time. And while we're at it, I think we should make a drink to go with the food.
Me: Like what?
Henry: Something called Whizz Bang Pop. You put some fizzy drink in a bottle, add in some cleaned rocks, and some hair. Clean hair, of course. Then you leave it out on the counter during the day for several days, and put it in the fridge at night. Every morning you take it back out and every night you put it back in the fridge. Then after several days you take it out and heat it on the stove. You cook it until the rocks dissolve, then put it back in the fridge. Then it's finally ready. It'll be perfect!
Me: Hmmm. Or, if you wanted to skip all that nastiness and still do something kind of special, we could just make hot cocoa.
Henry: Oh, yeah, Mom. Hot cocoa might work.
Henry: Yes! I've been waiting forever to do that!
