10 Things my children have learned while cooking with “Mom”
- Putting on an apron turns an ordinary child into a “Jr. Chef”
- 1 cup of flour really means 2 half cups of flour when cooking with 2 children.
- Flour and sugar look similar, but they don’t taste the same.
- Vanilla smells soooo good, but if you sneak and taste it, you will be sorely disapointed.
- Mom has invisible eyes on the back of her head, when she turns her head, she still sees you sneaking cookie dough out of the bowl.
- Wash your hands before you cook, don’t lick the spoon until we are done, don’t pick your nose, and finally..sneeze into your elbow and NOT into the brownie batter.
- Vegetable oil is not fun to clean up.
- Raw eggs and raw meat have “germy bugs” in them- don’t touch!
- Turning on the inside oven light is SO cool.
- Don’t hit your sister or attempt to push her off her chair..you will be demoted from a “Jr. Chef” to an ordinary boy again.

this is so funny…my kids always seem to sneeze when they are helping me I'm glad I'm not the only one that goes through this!
Wait….you mean I CAN'T pick my nose?????
Oh…by the way…after I get over the shock that I can't pick my nose in the kitchen anymore…I'm going to the store and getting the ingredients for your amazing hot chocolate! I'll be thinkin' of you!!!
Cute!! LOL
Miss Gina…go wash your hands!!!!! LOL!!!!!!
LOVE THIS! Especially #5! My children believed I had eyes in the back of my head for a very, very long time. I used to ask the, "Why do you think God has you growing in my womb for 9 months? Well, it's also so I can grown eyes in the back of my head!" When I taught 5th grade I would catch reflections in the chalkboard and finally told them I had eyes in the back of my head. They believed me, too! I now teach Middle School and they DON'T believe me. LOL! Your post triggered many happy memories of my children and students. Thank you!
Aww! Thanks Timi! So sweet, lol! So, it is middle school when I have to give up the eyes? 🙂
Yes, I'm afraid so. 🙂 But our 'mom radar' becomes fully developed by then. Mwuahahahaha, ooops. I mean~LOL! 🙂
I'm going to show this post to my 8th grade Food & Fitness class. It will be a good reminder of correct kitchen etiquette on the days we work on food labs. 😉
Love your post today (and every day!!!!) but this make me laugh!!!!
Many many blessings from France
