Everyday Skills, Friday 2nd Period

[thefearwasreal]

Oz was not alone at the front of the Danger Shop (which today resembled a weird hybrid between a kitchen and a laboratory). With him he had a bald, glasses wearing man in chef whites.

"Hey kids. Now one of the more important life skills we're going to cover in this class is cooking, and while I could easily cover this myself, I figured that something so vital needs an expert to help out, so I'd like you to meet my buddy Heston here. He's not the real version, but he'll do. He's going to take you through a few simple recipies. So pair up and put your aprons on."

[Go for it]

Uh-oh... this one was hard

On the one hand, Rapunzel really, really liked cooking. And learning! And she didn't want Oz to get angry with her.

On the other hand, Rapunzel really, really liked making new friends. And doing things with them! And she didn't want Britta to be angry with her.

She clasped and unclasped her hands together anxiously in front of her as she tried to come up with the right answer.

There was a little bit of a pause.

"No pressure, or anything," Britta added after a moment, her eyebrows lifted expectantly as she awaited Rapunzel's response. "I'd completely understand. Hey, you didn't have shoes. I think that gives you a get-out-of-jail free card on at least one hunger strike."

"What if... what if I only made the food, but didn't eat any?"

That might be a fair compromise, right?

"Well, someone's got to eat the food if it's made," Britta pointed out. "Otherwise, making food and not eating it is like...like...spitting in the face of all those Ethiopian kids. Or spitting on their poor, malnourished extended bellies."

"Oh!" Rapunzel clapped her hand over her mouth in distress. "I didn't think of that!"
