Recipe for Immensely Happy Children

Thanks to Nina Graff for sharing this

Take one large grassy field, half a dozen children, three small dogs, and walk along a narrow strip of brook, pebbly if possible. Mix children with dogs and empty them into field, stirring constantly. Sprinkle the entire with daisies and buttercups, pour brook gently over pebbles, cover all with deep blue sky and bake in a hot sun for several hours. When children are thoroughly browned, they may be removed. They will be found right and ready for setting away to cool in the bathtub.
