This is part of an actual conversation that took place in my house today...
The boy: "Want some chicken parmasean?"
Me: "You're going to make it? Sure."
not two seconds later...
The boy: "I thought we had a cutting board."
Me: "We do."
The boy: "Where is it?"
Me: "In the kitchen."
I figured a stupid question deserved a stupid answer...logic would clearly dictate that we keep it out in the garage...
The boy: "Do we have a mallet?"
Me: "Yes."
The boy: "Where is it?"
Okay, really?
Me: "In the kitchen."
not even two seconds later this time...
The boy: "It is not!"
Me: "You're right, I've been lying to you this whole time..."
The boy: "So, where is it?"
Me: "..."
Me: "It's in... the kitchen drawer..."
The boy: "No it's not! I looked!"
Me: "No, you didn't!"
The boy: "I did so. Look, I walked over here and opened this drawer and said something nonsensical to you and didn't find anything. Then I went over to this drawer and halfheartedly moved one or two things around and didn't see it. Then I went over to the other drawer and being discouraged from not finding it immediately, didn't really bother moving anything around in here. Then I went to the last drawer and... Hey! Here it is! I guess you were right all along."
Me: ::stare::
The boy: "Hey, do we have a pan?"
This would be the part where I closed the door from the kitchen to the Florida room and left him to his own devices...
The fact that you have a boy child willing to cook is amazing to me. Does he clean up, too?
ReplyDeleteLMAO.......
ReplyDeleteMom, do we have a fire extinguisher?????
Our oldest - who my wife incidentally calls the girl - cooks us cheesy scrambled eggs when it is a late night and we are tired. It's kind of like chicken when you think about it. Kind of...

and there's no mallet or cutting board. But seriously, it is nice to have someone else cook.
...and after all that he asked if there was any chicken - and there wasn't, right?
ReplyDeleteSo how did he do? Kudos to him for asking for a mallet. A real man knows his place in the kitchen.
This morning for breakfast I made a frittata with sliced turkey, tomato, onion, basil, garlic, roasted potatoes and swiss cheese.
