Limitless Imagination

1 C. Laughter

1 pinch Mischief

1 Night Sky (Without Stars)

1 Window

1 oz. Common Sense

Boasting and Teasing to taste

1.     Prepare 1 Long Afternoon. Rinse and remove any expectations, entanglements. or obligations. Carefully peel away any adult supervision and set aside.

2.     Gently mix 3 Friends, an equal amount of High Hopes, and a generous handful of Good Intentions in a small, confined space.

3.     Briskly whisk in Limitless Imagination, 1 C. Raucous Laughter, and a pinch of Mischief. Add salt to taste.

8.     Enjoy! (Preferably from a safe distance).
