If you remember doing this...

[Father Kit Cool Gun Garth]

... you had a great childhood!

 

 

 

I still do, but make sure the batter did not contain raw eggs!

Oh Yea.   Fond memories.

There were 5 of us kids and we hung close to Moma when she was in the kitchen making

some 'special' food........ like chocolate cake batter.

You can still do that!

 

Just make sure the mixer is turned off or unplugged!

Three kids = 2 beaters & one spatula.  Everybody's happy.

And then there was the bowl.

Mom did a really good job with the spatula.  The bowl was clean.

Nowadays you’d get flamed for eating the raw eggs in the batter, but it’s a great childhood memory!

 What a sweetie pie. 
 

I have a photo of my daughter around that same age working on a beater that had chocolate icing all over it.

When I was a kid there were 6 of us kids. My mom had a check off list for beaters and bowls. Our names were listed by age and she just went down the list. She considered a bowl the same as a beater when marking down the list. But, as @Zeb Gray, #36839mentioned, the bowl was often clean so therefore it dropped out of rotation. 
 

My favorite was when she made homemade icing for a cake and the beaters with the cake batter had already been checked off and I was next for an icing beater.

Last time I did that was about year ago at a friend's house.  His wife let me have one of the beaters and her hubby got the other one.  She kept the bowl for herself.

I've joked about that before along with learning to drink a thick milkshake through a paper straw without it collapsing.
