I've heard all that before!

MOM sent me off on my first job in Endwell, New York, armed with similar words
and one of Betty Crocker's famous "beginner's cookin books"!

I got lost half way down the first page ...
I never admitted it to Mom, but I re-gifted the book to who I thought at the time
was a needy young lady. She didn't share my thoughts ... I never got invited for dinner.
(And never saw the cookin book again, either.)

Iffin I can't understand the "directions" printed on the back of the box or bag,
then the "Pretty Picture on the Front" never makes it to the check-out line!
