The Great Dough Disaster

Carole and I were doing these online mad-libs where you nominate words and then it inserts them into a story. The site is for kids btw. Here's how one turned out...(the words we chose were Dave,fat,kicked,rowed,64000,cindy lauper,gracefully,pakistan,ears,8 million,screwing,teapot,mobiles)


Last summer, my friend Dave got a job at the fat Pastry Shop. For the first few weeks, he kicked the floors, rowed on the shelves, and unloaded 64000-pound sacks of flour from the delivery trucks.

Finally, cindy lauper, the owner, told Dave that she would teach him to make bread. “Now, pay attention, Dave,” she said gracefully. “I'll make the first batch of dough. Then you can make the next batch while I go to pakistan.”

Poor Dave! He had a habit of letting his ears wander. When cindy lauper left for pakistan, he started to mix the ingredients. “Let me see,” he said. “I think she put in 8 million packages of yeast.”

A short while later, the dough started screwing. It kept on screwing. Dave tried to cover it with a(n) teapot, but the dough wouldn't stop screwing. It was everywhere! “What can I do?” thought Dave.

Just then, cindy lauper returned from pakistan. "Dave!" she screamed. “What have you done?”

“It's not my fault,” cried Dave. “The dough just started screwing and wouldn't stop.”

cindy lauper had to let him go. Now Dave has a job making mobiles. I don't think he'll ever eat bread again, let alone make it.
