Kids talk

June 2015
Recently mom found a yummy yeast-rising waffle mix recipe that makes crispy waffles, so yummy that the kids eat a lot of them and our waffle iron is now used almost daily.
 
Before family film watching evening,
Mom: The waffle mix needs to be made the night before. Let's not eat it tomorrow morning as it's late and I don't want to make it.

During family film watching break,
Mom: Let's make the waffle mix tonight so we can have it for breakfast tomorrow.
Dad: You said not tonight.
Soon-to-be-11-year-old: It's because she saw the food in the film and now she wants it.
Mom: You're so smart!
Soon-to-be-11-year-old: That's because I'm that way too. I want to eat it when I see it.
