Mom.
What?
Nothing. I just will stand by you.
Mom.
What?
It’s a nice day isn’t it?
Yes. Go outside and enjoy it.
Mom?
Ahh, you’re back. What?
Is my cake finished?
Mom.
What?
My cake sure smells good.
Mom.
What?
This pink bow only sort of matches my shirt.
Princess, go outside and do not come back in until I come get you.
Five minutes later - a voice speaking through thru the screen of the open kitchen window:
Mom.

What?
It’s 2:30.
OK…
Mom?
What?
It’s 2:31
Now it’s 2:35. And my it smells good in there…
