Good morning kiddies. Welcome to today’s long-distance learning lesson. We are going to learn how to help Mummy in the kitchen, so later when Mummy gets out of bed, she will get a big shock.
If you are too small to reach the kitchen sink then perhaps you could get a chair from the dining table and stand on it at the sink.
Fill the sink with water. I hope you know how to stop the water from running out of the sink. Excellent!
Now we are going to learn to wash the toaster. Toasters are full of crumbs and are yucky. Put the toaster in the water. Give it a good scrub with the brush. Don’t forget to put some detergent in the water. When it’s as clean as you can get it there will still be some dirty marks on the toaster but don’t worry about them.
Next children we must learn to dry the toaster. Find an electric outlet, it doesn’t have to be in the kitchen, and plug it in. Don’t forget to switch it on.
Expect a knock from social services, oh, about now. 😉

I can recommend a good lawyer. In the meantime, just keep saying “No comment.”

There is a precipitous mischief in the title of the story itself.

Ha! I liked the mischief in the phrase “Mummy will get a big shock”!

Which makes me wonder if all that happened inside a pyramid with in-house power management.

The methods are not greatly different from what the proponents of the “rewritten history” advocate!

Distance learning is hell for teachers. I bet this possibility has occurred to a few.

Yes – so often one hears how tough things are for the parents and students – but distance learning for teachers would be like talking to a brick wall. (Come to think of it, talking to a brick wall is not a bad description of classroom teaching sometimes!)
