Chicken Dance?

My kids surprise me sometimes.

The rule for class, of course, is your cell phone must be turned off. If your cell phone rings during class your consequence is to either to treat the whole class to donuts or you can get up front and entertain everyone with the chicken dance.

Except in the math class where Brianna's loud cell phone disrupted everyone.
Some little old lady called the wrong number and got Brianna in a whole lot of trouble.
She was all set to do the chicken dance.
She doesn't eat donuts.
She doesn't think anybody should eat donuts.
Donuts cost money,
And she isn't about to spend her hard earned pennies buying donuts.
(Cut and dry, that's just who she is.)

BUT the teacher said no chicken dance in her class!

But hey, Bri, can you show us what the chicken dance IS?

Brianna has had dozens of feathered friends in her life. A lot of them were chickens....  Her dance was a pretty realistic demonstration of a rooster's irritated strut and a whole lot more entertaining than the chicken dance we checked out on YouTube. I do believe the kid has a little Pepere in her. Did you know he can tap dance?

The teacher did agree to cookies so Christina set to work right away to make ginger snaps to get her sister out of a pinch. She even called Kristen, the cookie baking guru, about the problem she had with her cookies getting too hard last time. The problem was that they were not sealed tight enough last time.

Again, this morning the cookies were hard as bricks.

What to do.

At 6:30 AM this morning she was up making a whole new batch. They look great. Hopefully the zip lock can keep them soft until class....

A slice of white bread in the cookie bag might keep them soft!!

My Grandma says to put apple slices in the cookie jar to soften the cookies ... :-)
