Waiting For Pizza Rolls
Three Squirrels were waiting for their favorite treats to finish baking in the oven. The treats were pizza rolls and according to the Squirrels, were probably the best friggin after playing basketball snack ever invented.
The only thing that sucked though was that the pizza rolls took about 20 minutes to cook. Time moves slowest when you're waiting for food. The wait was excruciating. Each minute stretched to an hour.
The Squirrels tried lots of different activities to pass the time and take their minds off of the pizza rolls so slowly, slowly, suh-low-lee, baking in the oven. They tried to watch TV, they tried reading a chapter of a book, they tried quizzing each other on trivia, they thought about doing homework, but no matter what activity they tried they couldn't help but notice their attention was never quite there. Always, they would drift to the thought of those wonderful pizza rolls.
One time Timmy thought it would be a good idea to increase the temperature of the oven and thus decrease the time it took the pizza rolls to bake. This idea seemed so novel yet so obvious the Squirrels even wondered if they ought to take the time to patent it and sell it. To who, they didn’t know.
This method yielded less than stellar results. The pizza rolls were both burnt on the outside and cold on the inside. That was one of the most devastating days. It still hurts when they Squirrels think about it.
As the three friends were trying to think of new ways to make the torturous cooking time go quicker the oven went off.
"Wow!" Timmy said, "I can't believe it's ready, already!"
"Yeah," Jimmy added, "I wonder what we did, maybe we can remember and do it again?"
"I guess we just weren't thinking about the time, we were thinking about things to do," Added Darren.
The three friends quickly got the pizza rolls out and divided them equally. Then they bit into them. Instantly, each of the Squirrels’ mouths’ dropped open as the steaming, molten lava cheesy/saucy pizza roll interiors burst forth scorching every bit of soft tissue it came in contact with. The three friends did this often and as you may have guessed, burned the absolute dickens out of their mouths every damn time. .
Once their mouths were burnt they couldn't really taste anything then nor for weeks afterwards. But they also couldn't wait a second longer than they already did to prove the . . Still, even though they've never actually tasted the pizza rolls, the three would swear up and down that pizza rolls were the best snack in the universe. Nothing could keep them from wanting them and wanting their beloved pizza rolls but also to want more. as quickly as possible.
