Fifth Floor Common Room [Sunday morning]

After so many requests for pancakes from her own children yesterday morning, Sookie figured that might be a theme for the weekend. And when she woke up, and Henry wasn't gone, at least, she'd run out to get a few supplies before returning to the common room to see what she could put together. (Though, of course, Henry had insisted on coming with her once he realized she was Going to the Store and he might Get Stuff.)

It clearly just wasn't her own children she was worried about, here, Drake/di Glacia/Stackhouse appetites aside. Sookie had bought enough things to make breakfast for pretty much any kids (and parents) who showed up. She was setting to work on the pancakes, but in other pans she was busily scrambling eggs and frying up some bacon. She'd also made a point to buy orange and apple juice and milk both chocolate and white, because there was no way in hell she was letting more of those kids just drink coffee. She didn't care if it was for a weekend, it was just irresponsible.

"What's my rule about the stove?" Sookie asked, because she was honestly curious as to whether the other-her had one or not.

"Always wear oven mitts and don't play with it unless a adult says it's okay," Henry recited carefully. "But you're a adult and you could say it's okay...."

"How about," Sookie suggested, putting together a little plate of pancakes and bacon and eggs, and pouring him some apple juice, "you be my taste-tester. Your job -- and it's very important -- is to tell me if this all tastes good. Can you do that?"

Henry immediately started making grabby hands at the plate. "Pleeeeeease!" he said, bouncing. "Please please, I'll be the best at taste-testin'!"

"Hmmm," Sookie said, considering the plate and looking back to Henry. "Are you suuuure? Because it is a very big responsibility."

"I can do it!" Henry squealed, giggling as he reached for the plate...which Sookie finally placed before him.

"Okay, but the other important thing about being a taste-tester is that you get disqualified if you don't use your table manners," Sookie added, handing him a fork and a napkin. "So be polite!"

Henry, while inherently being his father's son, had clearly had his mother's rules on manners drilled into him many times over his short life. He gave her a proud smile as he placed the napkin in his little lap, took a bite, and then waited before he was done chewing before saying, "These are the best pancakes, Mama!"

"I'm glad you like them, sweetie," Sookie said, reaching out to tousle his hair. "Make sure the eggs and the juice especially are good, too!"

Not because they were good for him, of course. No one was tricking children here, no.
