Brownies

Yesterday, I got an urge for homemade brownies (with walnuts). Within an hour, with "help" from Maddie and Daniel, the brownies were sitting on the countertop, freshly dusted with powdered sugar. Not surprisingly, the kids inhaled their dinner in order to get their hands on them. Mei quietly sat in her booster for about an hour slowly nibbling on every last crumb.
This morning, according to Christine - "I asked Mei Mei what she wanted for breakfast this morning ... eggs, oatmeal ... and she said, without pausing ... brownies!" Funny thing is, if it had been me, I probably would have given her some. Reminded me of the story Bill Cosby told where his wife came into the kitchen to the sound of her kids chanting, "Dad is great, he gives us chocolate cake". There are some things you just don't do.
