Sakhile knew his mother was being slow just to irritate him! Eating her berries one by one, he huffed indignantly. She obviously didn't understand the importance of cookies!
And then she made him clean the table! But if I didn't.. she'd take forever to do so, eh thought, and then I'd have to wait longer for cookies! He looked at the table and the large spot in the center he couldn't reach from his perch on the chair. Glaring at it he was about to scamper on to the table to get at it when Senja picked him up. He sulked when she laughed and gave him a light scolding. "But how'm I supposed to clean it then?" He asked huffily.

She rolled her eyes at his huffy question. "You ask for help of course!" She said as she set him back down and laid the recipe on the table.
"I'll clean it, go over this and see if I got all the stuff out." She knew she had.. but it was a good exercise for him to practice his reading and connecting names with actual ingredients.
After cleaning it, she smiled as she saw him waiting expectantly; "Did I get everything?"

Sakhile looked at the list full of words he didn't know and frowned. He had been given a task of utmost importance! He needed to make sure all the delicious stuff was here to make the best cookies! A difficult mission!
He read the words slowly to himself, finger on each word as he struggled to sound out each one. Then he had to match it to something on the table.... That was almost as difficult!
"Why do we need floors in the cookies?" He asked curiously as he pointed to the word "flour."

Senja smothered a grin as he said floor. "It's pronounced 'flour' just like 'Flower.'" She said with a straight face. "Though I bet floor cookies taste better.. if we could find any small floors!" But he'd managed to get through most of it... probably because the materials were mostly things he loved; like sweets.
"Want to mix while I add in the materials?" She asked, knowing he would tire out soon and wanting to let him help while the mixing was easy.

Sakhile looked at the word then back up at his mother, certain she was pulling his leg. They put flowers into the cookies? Ground up stuff.. how'd they get the flower to go all yellowish though? He looked at the bin filled with an odd pale powder. Did they whiten the flowers then crush them?
"I will mix!" He declared extravagantly. "I've got muscles momma! I can do it!" He said proudly.
Senja laughed to herself as she and her small son got to making cookies. It was a mess of course... how else would baking with a small child go? But it was fun. And if the cookies weren't as good as her mothers, they weren't bad either!
