Hmm. Sounds similar to what my father went though - his mother told him and his siblings that if they wanted to lick the batter, they had to help in the kitchen. Because of that my father's an excellent chef.

In fact, most of my siblings are also fairly competent in the kitchen. I'm not so much so, mostly because my siblings always wanted to cook/bake stuff, and I was just willing to help. So I got sidelined. I've caught up a bit, mostly since it's a useful thing to know, but I'm no expert.

Unlike my mother who can decorate cakes like an expert, and could probably sell them for some ridiculous sum. She doesn't, she only does it as a labor of love, but still...

One of her many marketable, but unmarketed talents - she can also make incredible costumes, she has done so numerous times in the past for my younger sisters. A retro vending machine, a starbucks frappachino, a can of coke, a washer and drier, A carousel and ferris wheel. My sisters had a lot of amazing costumes. I still think my mother should have sold them afterwards.

But I think I've completely digressed by this point. In any case, I do appreciate a good misspelling, and yes, I mispell the word misspell too.
