I found this on the internet this morning while trying to find a 'dog' craft for my 'Little Acorns' preschool group on Thursday.
It was discovered on the inside of a vintage cooking tin.
'Recipe for Preserving Children'
Ingredients
• 1 grassy field
• 1 half-dozen children (or more)
• Several dogs (and puppies, if available)
• 1 brook
• Pebbles
Method
1. Into field pour children and dogs, allowing to mix well.
2. Pour brook over pebbles till slightly frothy.
3. When children are nicely brown cool in warm bath.
4. When dry, serve with milk and fresh baked gingerbread.
It reminded me of growing up when we didn't have to worry about sun damage and we ran around like little brown berries all summer. It put a smile on my face.
