Sweden Low

M has recently grown several inches and now wants to eat at the table like a civilized person. In order to finance a new chair, she responded to an ad in the newspaper asking for adventurers to fight a criminal menace in Sweden. The director of the program said she could buy any chair she wanted at the end of her tour. So she said yes. Her first job was to learn to ride the special form of transportation unique to Sweden -- the reindeer.




After weeks of training, however, it was determined that she didn't possess the killer instinct to ride with the "Reindeer Calvary". The calvary had been hunting Herr Stor (Mister Big in Swedish), the leader of the crime syndicate. Here M reacts to the news. "I let my new chair slip out of my grasp!"


Not to worry. The director liked M and gave her a new job that consisted of taking care of some of the local wildlife. Here M needs to drag tranqulized animals back to the wild in a special sleigh after scientific testing.

In not one of her prouder moments, M dumps all the animals in one place and quickly returns to home base. She explains, "It was really, really cold." Needless to say she was removed from this job as well. It looks as though M won't get her new chair after all...



The director didn't send her home but did move her to KP. M shows that her true life skill might involve crafting deserts. This one is called Sir Twix-A-Lot Sloppy Style. It involves ThinMint Ice Cream liberally covered with Twix candy bars and chocolate syrup (pictured below). Plain Sir Twix-A-Lot is served with out the chocolate syrup. After tasting this dish, the director went into a chocolate stupor. When he awoke and asked for the recipe, M saw her chance....

M traded the recipe for a new booster seat that fits under the table allowing her to eat with Dad and Mom.


Ahh! Drinking in the success.

Thanks Aunt JKC!

M, that was an incredibly smart tactic...to put the director into a chocolate stupor. Some of my best espionage has been made possible because of chocolate.

Hello M!

You look great on your Rocking Red Moose! I hope you get hours of enjoyment out of it.
The booster seat is super-cute. I did not know that a booster seat could be super-cute until this moment.
It sounds like you had some great adventures, I can't wait to see you so we can talk about it and eat some "Sir Twix a-alot." Who put together that sled? It is awesome.

Love,
Aunt J
