Thomas J. Tooth and Awful Waffles The Brilliant Adventures of Thomas J. Tooth
-
- Stories for Kids
One Saturday morning, it was Thomas J. Tooth’s birthday and he was up early because he and his dad were going fishing, and Thomas J. loved fishing almost as much as he loved birthdays.
But when he got up, he could hear there was a terrible storm brewing, with lightning, thunder, and lots of rain. It looked like they would have to stay home that day. He was very sad but then he heard his mom call from the kitchen, “Thomas! Awful waffles!”
“Awful waffles!,” thought Thomas J., and he made a beeline downstairs to the breakfast table. Thomas J. Tooth’s favorite breakfast was awful waffles. Now, awful waffles, you may ask him, “Why?” He would then politely explain that they are not in the least awful, but awful is short for awfully good — and I will add, they are indeed delicious.
There is a secret ingredient which I will share with you if you do not tell a soul — it’s vanilla, lots of it. Now if you were to add some homemade freezer jam, some whipped cream and butter, you would have a delicacy. Add to it bacon dipped in maple syrup, and Thomas J. wouldn’t complain a bit.
Thomas’ dad was the waffle chef in the family and he was busy baking. Thomas J. was deep into his first waffle with all the trimmings and bacon covered with maple syrup, before you could say, “Waffle.” And enjoying every bite. By the time Thomas J. was done with breakfast, he noticed that the storm had gone and he could see the sun shining through the window and knew it was time to get his fishing pole.
“Remember to brush well,” said his mom. “You are covered with jam, whipped cream, and syrup and K-germ may be out-and-about trying to make cavities.” “Okay,” said Thomas J., and he got so clean and shiny-bright, that K-germ wouldn’t dare come near him.
