It is end of school year and the kids are planning to bake cookies for their teachers.
Brat#2 hears "bake" and immediately thinks of "cake", which reminds her of "birthday" - hers of course - which is more than a month away. Brat#2 launches into plans for her birthday. She would like a cake. Definitely chocolate. No jelly. We would invite all her friends. R would come for a sleep over. No R would NOT be invited. R did not give her space on the tire swing...
We gently remind her about the "bake" plans and it pulls her thoughts back to "cake".
Brat: Amma, will you help me bake a chocolate cake for my birthday?
Alice (who is not the best baker): Did you know that Appa bakes the best chocolate cakes?
N: Appa bakes from the mix - but I bake from scratch. Maybe, you and I can bake together?
Brat: OK. Let us start now. Do we have scratch?
