Lunch Drama

(featuring a Lunchables pizza kit)


"Do you want some pizza for lunch?"
"YAAAAYYY!"
"Okay, sit down.  Let me open it for you."
"I can do it, I can do it, I can do it by myself."
"Here, let me show you how to make a pizza."
"NOOOOOOO!  Don't touch it!  Don't touch the pieces!"
"Well honey, this is how you make a pizza.  You get to build it.  Check it out, see?  You put the bread part down here."
"NOOOOOOOO!"
"And then you squeeze on some sauce."
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!  NOOOOOOOO!  What are you doing?  Put it there (back in the box)!  Put it there!"
"Here, why don't you try to squeeze it.  Just a little.  There you go!  Just a little, just a litt- or not.  Here, let's put some of that sauce on the other pieces."
"NOOOOOOOO!  What are you doing???"
"See?  Okay, I'm going to crumble the cheese so you can sprinkle it on your pizzas."
"WHAT?  NOOOO!  Don't touch it!  Leave it there!  I want to eat it!  I DON'T WANT CHEESE  ON THE PIZZA!!!!!"
"Look at this picture on the box.  See?  It's a pizza.  First, you put the sauce on, then you put cheese and pepperoni.  Let me make one to show you. You like pizza.  You'll like this."
(Waving arms frantically in the air.) "NOOOOOOOO!   NOOOOOOOOO!  You ruined all of them!  Mommy, you made a MESS!"
"No babe, I made a pizza."
