The Recipe For Life
by Jim Besaw

Add 3 tsp of Energy, 1 cup of Joy and 2 parents beautifully in love. Let sit for 3 years, then slowly add 2 pinches of curiosity, 5 scoops of adventure, a handful of “I told you so moments” and 4 rancid rotten rebellions. Mix this well for about 5 years and your mixture should begin to turn a soft “know it all” shade.Add 2 tablespoons of questions and continue stirring. Once the mixture has become a soft ball of adolescence, you should roll 13 to 14 small balls of hormones onto a tray of conflict. Bake these on a temperature of about “the flaming fury that your parents feel as they find out you’ve borrowed the car to go to your boyfriend's/girlfriend's house”. Once they turn a golden shade of wisdom, you should take them out and let them cool off until they are hard and or firm from the hardships of life. Finally they are ready to be frosted with a life well spent with the ones you love."
