"I want that "
the four-year old said, poking
about in the pantry. Packages rattled.
"This too",
he said. Baking supplies collected quickly on the
counter.
Pointed out with the long wooden spoon, nuts, raisins and chocolate
chips were picked out in a flash.
"Just in time! he
said, beating on the lid of an empty tin.
" Look what I found! The secret ingredient!"
I shook my head.. "It's empty".
"A drum!...You mix,
I drum,!" the little curly-headed one said, laughing,
banging loudly on the tin can. Instant
Migraine. The secret ingredient.

DeleteInstant Migraine ingredient for sure!My son used to love loud noise when he was little until he discovered slowly dripping water in the sink and Dixi cups to collect it in. Thank God! I was all for that! Have a good one RK. Good stuff you are cranking out...VK
ReplyDeleteVk, this was rooted in the past, we all used to beat on stuff just for fun. Instant migraine for mother--but she tolerated our 'fun' well and taught us to bake stuff instead...smart,huh? Thanks for your kind comments... ":) !R
