I made Mexican food- beans, rice, salsa, etc. and we used chapatis to make burritos. We had left overs so I called our upstairs neighbors, the ones from Novi, MI, to come and help us finish them off today for lunch. Another little girl from down the hall joined us as well, so after lunch the 3 girls are playing in our house. I convinced Flip into a nap, ignored the large pile of dishes on the counter and sat down to waste some time on the IPad.
As always, the moment my bottom hit the chair the girls declare they are hungry. Marvel suggests they go to another house for a snack. Out they go and return with Barbies and a bag of sandige type things. Not made. They present them to me and suggest I fry them in oil. Marvel attempts to save me by telling the girl I don't know how to make them and sends her back to her house with them. They return and each take a turn telling me how to heat some oil, add the little colored noodles, watch them puff and the remove them. I suggest microwave popcorn. They insist they can eat the popcorn and then eat the sandige. I try the direct route by telling them I am tired from cooking this morning, I still have dishes to wash and I have some things to do on the computer. "It's ok, Auntie," one little girl says, "you can do your work, wash the dishes and then make them for us."
