This morning D, who  just turned 9, asked to learn to make scrambled eggs. The other two quickly followed. So we started an assembly line, each making their own scrambled eggs from cracking the shell to whisking, which is somehow considered much cooler than stirring, to cooking. C and B both grated their own cheese to make cheesy-eggs. Every person did each step separately so the counter was covered in bowls. I helped B with the stove, but otherwise it was all self produced. After going back to make seconds, breakfast took two hours, but they were very proud.

At dinner C decided to try putting pepper on his hamburger because he likes it on his eggs so much.  He then started joking that salt and pepper were like the light and dark side of the force and that they were so necessarily they somehow held the universe together.D countered that duct tape held the universe together. (Absolutely no idea where he got that one.) But topping them both was their almost-5 yo sister, who adamantly proclaimed that atoms held the universe together! I really wish I knew where they got this stuff…
