I came across this "Recipe for Mothers" while reading a book. It reflects my own experiences in cooking, even before kids. It is funny enough that I'd like to share it with you...
A Recipe For Mothers by Robert J. Strand
Pre-heat the oven...check first for rubber balls or plastic ninja men or Barbie dolls or little cars which might have been lurking inside.
Clear the counter...of wooden blocks, hot-wheels cars, puzzle pieces or toy stoves.
Grease pan. Crack nuts. Measure flour...remove Jimmy's and Jean's hands from the flour.
Crack more nuts...to replace those which Jimmy and Jean have just eaten.
Sift flour, baking powder and salt...get broom and dustpan. Sweep up pieces of bowl which was knocked to the floor, accidentally, of course.
Find a second mixing bowl...answer ringing doorbell, then return to kitchen. Remove Jimmy's and Jean's hand from the bowl. Wash Jimmy and Jean. Answer phone. Remove about one-half inch of salt from greased pan. Call for Jimmy and Jean. Look for Jimmy and Jean.
Grease another pan...answer phone. Return to kitchen and find Jimmy and Jean. Remove their hands from bowl and greased pan. Remove layer of nuts from greased pan. Sternly turn to Jimmy and Jean who knock the second bowl off counter while attmpting to get away. Wash kitchen floor, counter, cupboards, stove, dishes, utensils and walls. Search for Jimmy and Jean. Find Jimmy and Jean and sit with the to explain that you are not really that angry with them.
Final scene...CALL THE BAKERY and order a cake. Tuck Jimmy and Jean into bed for their naps.
Take two aspirin.
Lie down.
I must say that I'm the type of cook that just calls the bakery first. That isn't always true. I recently attempted to bake my brother a birthday cake with a recipe that wasn't very specific on its instructions. I had the ingredients right, but it gave no details on exactly how to mix them. The cake sunk in the middle and came out the consistency of a small loaf of bread rather than a fluffy cake. It still tasted pretty good, but it wasn't really what it was intended to be. Thankfully my brother appreciated the effort. But I still ran by the bakery and picked up a cake!

Restaraunt Etiquette for Toddlers by Zoe Elise
Sherry, this had me laughing from start to finish! Wonderful humor! As for me and my house, we went on a lot of picnics in the park.
