This counts as the inside scoop, because the only way anyone in the audience would ever know this to be the case is if they watched this show over and over and very closely.
You see, every time we perform If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, it's a little different.
Take a look at the scene below, in which MJ Sieber, playing Boy, is imitating his mother right after she's done her nails. It's one of the funnier moments of the play, and it is never the same twice, because MJ has been given the green light to ad lib the line.

Some of our favorites so far:
Wha, Wha, Wha…(Charlie brown’steacher)
I can’t go outside until my nails are dry because I might get bugs on them.
I’m making smoothies for everyone.
Don’t forget to eat your brussel sprouts.
Did I ever tell you about my four episode arc on Falcon Crest?
It’s french toast day. Everyone want french toast?
Now be quiet. It’s time for me to watch my stories.
I wrote your name in all your underwear in case you lose it.
But, this has got to be our top, top favorite:
Did anyone see Antiques Road Show last night?? I’ve got a neti pot…
Come and see the show, and then stop back here tell us what Mom said!
