Dirt

(as featured at the Cornell Early Childhood Program of the Department of Human Development and Family Studies in the College of Human Ecology at Cornell University)

1 pkg instant chocolate pudding
1 cup milk
1 pot cool-whip
Oreos
Gummi worms

Have grownup open pudding, dump most of it into a bowl, lick excess off your shirt. Add milk measured into cup by grownup. Take turns stirring until more or less mixed. Plop in a scoop of cool-whip, stir 10 times, counting, then pass to your left until everyone's had a turn. Put three or four Oreos in a baggie, and whack with a rolling pin until they resemble vermiculite. Dump your baggie into the bowl, resisting insofar as possible the urge to intercept and eat them on the way, stir and pass as above.

Place two gummi worms in a small clean flowerpot, scoop in mixture to fill, and enjoy. Looks remarkably authentic, tastes, uh, considerably better than it looks, particularly if you're 3 1/2.

[For our overseas readers: Cool-whip is a whipped topping that you might think was like whipped cream if you'd never had real whipped cream. Oreos are chocolate sandwich cookies with creme [sic] filling. In Australia, I'm sure Vegemite would figure in here somehow. -John]
