Preparing a Meal

Grace: Mommy! Here are your running shoes. Will you come outside and run with me???

Me: Not yet, honey, I'm making pesto.

Grace: Mommy! Now will you come outside and run with me?

Johnny: Yeah and I'm gonna ride my bike!

Me: Well, now that the sauce is ready...David, can you just boil the noodles and roast these pine nuts for a few minutes?

David: Huh, what? Yeah, the noodles and the pine nuts, ok.

10 or 15 minutes later.

Me: Why did you put a bowl of black beans out? We're having pesto. Is something burning?

David: Those aren't black beans. Those are the pine nuts you put in. I guess they really only do take just minutes to roast.
