I've been reading a lot of Shel Silverstein with my kids lately. This challenge made me think of the poem "Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take The Garbage Out" So, that was my inspiration. =)
Chili powder in the flour
Lavender, a lone graham cracker
The mice can't even stand the old grey grits
Marshmallow stuck to sourdough
Diced tomatoes, and green Jell-o
This is the pits, let's go dine at the Ritz
Oh! Please won't someone teach me cooking
So I wont hear my family choking
Something rich like cake with chocolate icing
Illness was never my intention
Why can't I figure out directions
Maybe something savory like stuffing
Cooking ramen in Bombay Gin
Old raisins in a biscuit tin
The cockroaches won't eat the room temp cheese
Oatmeal cookies dipped in whiskey
Herbal tea brewed with the coffee
We should all get plates of cold canned peas
Oh! Please won't someone teach me cooking
So I wont hear my family choking
Something rich like cake with chocolate icing
Illness was never my intention
Why can't I figure out directions
Maybe something savory like stuffing
Rainbow sprinkles in the pickles
Cook the skittles with the pretzels
Dogs are getting sick of eating scrapple
Pasta boiled in Coca-Cola
Smoked paprika, hot granola
Worms won't risk the moldy rotten apple
Oh! Please won't someone teach me cooking
So I wont hear my family choking
Something rich like cake with chocolate icing
Illness was never my intention
Why can't I figure out directions
Maybe something savory like stuffing

This is cool, this is fun. But 'why can't I figure out directions' is followed by the answer in my head: dyspraxia!? A.K.A Developmental Coordination Disorder. Or developmental dyspraxia. It's definitely a listed trait, struggling with instructions. It's like dyslexia for planning and movement, coordinating those different frames of reading, action, and the processing in between.
