Easy Bake

Jenna’s favorite present from Santa was the Easy Bake Oven.
She always watched her mommy in the kitchen and was eager
to imitate the cooking process, in her cute little apron.
In fact, the very next day, she made cupcakes for her parents,
baked them for six hours under the Easy Bake’s sixty watt lightbulb,
and added a green glaze frosting to boot. They looked horrible.
And tasted even worse, it turned out, but mommy and daddy ate
the entire treat, out of deep love and respect for little Jenna.
Later that night, her parents got very sick and had to be taken
by ambulance to the local hospital. It seems that Jenna could
not find a suitable colored liquid in the fridge for her frosting,
so had gone out to the garage to search amongst the canned
goods there. Anti freeze was the perfect color, and gooey, too.
Jenna did not know how to read.
And, even if she did, who’d want frozen cupcakes?
