How to Blow Bubbles: A Tutorial by Gabe

This tutorial is for toddlers who want to learn to blow bubbles.
You will need:
Bubbles
A mom
Rocks or Dirt
Lots of breath

To begin...


1. Stride purposefully to the shelf with the bubbles. There may be multiple items on this shelf, but you know what you want.
2. Tell your mom you need the bubbles. You can do this by pointing vaguely and saying one of three things: "eh", "mmmhh" or "bupples". Most moms are in need of brain training and some actually enjoy guessing games. Help your mom out and try one of the first two phrases.

2a. If your mom does not guess bubbles correctly, tell her this.


2b. Throw the sippy and say "bupples".


3. Shake the bubbles. This step is not included on the package, but is essential.
4. Rub the bubble wand in the rocks. Dirt is a good substitute if there are no rocks.Pay attention because this step is also not on the package, but will add "texture" to your bubbles when applied properly.


5. Put the bubble wand on your lips. Alternately, put the wand in your mouth.



6. Start spitting the bubble solution and wiping your tongue with your hand or shirt. Insist on spitting into your mom's hand until all soap residue is gone or until you recieve the proper amount of attention from your mom.




7. Let your mom know you suspect it is her fault that bubbles taste bad.



8. Recover and try again, this time holding the bubble wand at a reasonable distance.


9. Take a deep breath and blow harder than necessary.
10. You should acheive one bubble by this time. Repeat steps 8-10 for three to ten minutes and then abandon the activity and torture an ant.

Oh my gosh, Noah and Gabriel must have gone to "Bubbles 101" together! The last time Noah also blew his own bubble when he exhaled after swallowing so much bubble solution! Sara

Great job Mr. Sandwich. I believe at the end though you should have tortured an "aunt". Hopefully I will be able to bring Aunt Ariel to visit in October so you can torture her.
