Heapin' and Whoppin'

Eler Beth just asked me for directions to make some hot cocoa.  I told her to heat a cup of milk in a pan.  Put a heaping teaspoon of cocoa and two teaspoons of sugar in the mug.  When the milk is hot pour a little over the cocoa and sugar and mix it well, then pour in the rest of the milk.

She came to me with the can of cocoa and a big serving spoon that was HEAPED with cocoa.  I shrieked, "Not that much!"

And she said, "Well, you said a whopping spoonful!"

I've been visiting some journals of people who were kind during my "weepy" entry :-). Thank you.
As for heaping, shoot, I would be guilty of that serving spoon also, but because I love that chocolate taste. I cheat & buy a sugar free instant, but it sure does not taste the same.
