Ever been so excited for a yummy drink that you just want to dive right in? Cool Joe has! 😂 In our new lesson, Cool Joe thinks the best way to enjoy his cup of hot chocolate is to try and dunk his entire head in it! Luckily, Phoenix is there to show him a much more polite (and cleaner!) way to behave. She teaches him the two secret rules for stirring a cup like a pro: Noiseless Stirring: Gently stir in the middle of the cup without letting your spoon clink, clink, clink against the sides of the mug. A Clean Exit: When you're done, lift the spoon straight out without scraping it on the edge of the cup.
