COLORADO SPRINGS, CO — Local toddler Wyatt Carlson clocked in for another long day working at the play kitchen his parents bought him for his birthday.
“I started as a dishwasher but worked my way up to cook by week two,” The exhausted Wyatt explained as he wiped sweat off his forehead. “I like making pretend macaroni and cheese… sometimes I put sprinkles in it, and that’s yummy.”
“It’s tough work, but someone’s gotta do it.”
Wyatt spent the day carefully making a birthday cake with chocolate frosting topped with hot dogs and a giant pancake made out of playdough. His mom reported seeing him take a lunch break around noon, where he ate a real peanut butter and jelly sandwich before heading back to the blue and yellow plastic kitchen to make another batch of dirt cookies.
“Sometimes I feel like my work isn’t really appreciated around here,” Wyatt told reporters, “but seeing a plate full of hair and mud pie at the end of the day makes it all worth it.”
Following his long shift, Wyatt fell asleep on the couch while watching a post-work episode of Bluey. His mom reported she also worked a full shift cleaning up dirt cookies, playdough, and sprinkles.
At publishing time, Wyatt was mentally preparing himself for a grueling double shift the next day in the sandbox out back.
