My dad is a wonderful cook and the problem is that he knows it. No one ever satisfies his taste buds๐Ÿ˜’. This morning I had been told in no uncertain terms to prepare Quaker oats which I do not like, even bothering on hate. Despite all my protests about having never done it before, I found myself in the kitchen with a pot, a spatula and some oats. After figuring out that I needed water to begin the process, I proceeded to make what I thought was oats after reading the nonexistent recipe about 469 times. After 3.5 exact minutes in the kitchen, I called for a rescuer in the person of my dad. And believe me when I say, I had just put the oats in water. Daddy dearest finally made the oats after giving me a proper lecture.... You know how it is. I should tell you though, till this day, I have never seen oats as lumpy as the one he made. Of course he blamed it on me seeing as he couldn't very well be the mastermind behind lumpy oats.๐Ÿ˜’๐Ÿ˜’ That was my first attempt at oats nevertheless. It was also my last. ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ˜

I wasn't sure whether the title was included in the 199words so I included it. I also sincerely hope that emoticons aren't counted as words cos if they are, there are 5words, I could remove๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™ˆ
