Kids

The banana loaf I was making was in the oven when my 16-year-
old came into the kitchen where the family had gathered.

"That bread smells about done don't you think, Mom?" he asked.

I told him I had set the timer and it was fine.

A little later he repeated his suggestion. "Mom, I really
think that loaf is done. Maybe you should check it."

Always quick to come to my defence, my 13-year-old son said,
"Eddie, Mom's been burning that banana bread for 20 years
now. I think she knows when to take it out."
