Recipe (Poem) For Spoiled-Rotten Kids

5/14/2015

0 Comments

 
You Will Need:
  • 1 above-ground pool
  • 5,000 gallons of water, chlorinated
  • bathing suits
  • goggles (optional)
  • anywhere from 5-10 sons/daughters/nieces/nephews (Kids)
  • 1 year’s worth of spare change, preferably collected in glass jar
Directions:
  1. Fill your container with water, and bring to a comfortable temperature.
  2. Assemble your Kids off to the side with bathing suits and goggles (optional), let marinate in anticipation.
  3. Take your jar of coins, filled with money from yard sales, change from the grocery store, laundry money, etc.  Sprinkle generously into your container (for richer flavor, add more quarters).
  4. The Kids should be properly marinated now.  Place them in the pool, but before submerging them, spin them around with their eyes closed.
  5. Once properly disoriented, let the Kids submerge to soak up all of those coins for that rich flavor.
  6. Remove Kids, now Spoiled Rotten, and serve on lawn chairs with anywhere from $10 to $30 in change to be counted.  Serves entire family.
