Muffins Baking Booties Shakin

What more could you ask for?  A quiet afternoon baking a few (60 to be exact) muffins to freeze.  You sneak your fingers in the mix a few times just to be sure that it's just right.  Then when they are baking you make sure mom turns on the oven light so you can sit with your sister about two inches from the glass and watch it bake.

 

When they come out of the oven be sure to get as close to the steaming hot muffin as you can.  Enough to scare your mother to death but not so close as to end up in the emergency room with an epiphany. When mom seems like her heart is about to jump through her throat step back ever so cool, smile,  and give her a break, then do it again.

When they cool off beg mom for one (but eat 3.)  She won't know the difference.  There are 60.  Once the sugar high settles in, beg her to play THIS song over and over.

AND ROCK OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!
