Questa è Enida

He is always curious when I have something on the stove. And today when I was making the Mommy-is-running-out-of-idea dish that seems to work every time, the Donburi, he was right there in the kitchen. Dragging the IKEA stool to the cooker, ready to climb up and sit on the kitchen counter to see what’s cooking, he asked me to ask him for help.

Edrick: Mommy, do you want me to help you count the eggs?

Mommy: Sure Monch. Why don’t you help me count the eggs.

Edrick: Don’t forget the magic word Mom.

Mommy: Pleeeeeeease!

Edrick: Now, that sure helps!

Mommy: Huh? *thinks she should seriously cut down some TV time for this boy, this TV-like lines are starting to annoy her*

Edrick: Wow, Mom! Where did aaallll these eggssss come frommm? There are one billion and fifty five eggsssss!

Mommy: One billion and fifty fiiiivvve? But I can only see ten there!

Mommy: Bought!

Edrick: You just haven’t bought them yet!

Mommy: But that’s too many. What am I going to do with one billion and fifty-five eggs?

Edrick: You don’t have to do anything. You just have to buy them, Mom.

Mommy: What am I going to pay them with, my bulu?
