While watching Saturday morning TV...
Eamon: "Mommy! Quick! I need some paper!"
Me: "Ok..." <hands him a notepad>
Eamon: "Thanks!"
Me: "What for?"
Eamon: <silently but empahtically points to the TV which is turned to the Martha Stewart PBS cooking show>
After a few minutes of attempting to write down what she says...
Eamon: "Augh! This is too hard to write! I'm just going to have to remember it. <begins repeating after Martha Stewart> two tablespoons of flour... butter... maple syrup... Ooh! Now she's making espresso chocolate glaze! <frowns thoughtfully> Wait, how old do you have to be to have coffee?"
Me: "Well, there's not really a certain age. You could have coffee now but it would probably make you really hyper."
Eamon: "Hmm, I think I'll wait until I'm 12."
Me: <laughing> "What, is 12 the magic age to have coffee?"
Eamon: <seriously> "Yes. Well, for me it is. Hey, when I'm 12, maybe Rowan will be the manager of a cooking place and she can make those eclairs with espresso glaze!"
If I got even half excited as he does about cooking and recipes, my family would eat a lot better than we do... ;)
