The Naughty -To Do- List

Oh to be a kid again… To triple dip my salsa chip when no-one else is looking To toss hot peppers in the sauce when I might find it cooking To let my finger linger in the frosting bowl on Sunday To fake a belly ache so I can’t go to school on Monday To have fun with a nun by tying TP to her habit To take the last big slice of steak distracting as I grab it To dope the sugar bowl with soap with powder, it’s no trouble To act surprised at mama’s eyes when coffee starts to bubble
