Third floor common room- Sunday afternoon

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

Annie was hungry. She'd fed Dolly (did you know droid babies don't like to be fed water?) and cleaned her room and that made her miss breakfast. She knew she could ask an adult or a big kid to make her some, but she had the mind of a big girl and was sure she could do it herself.

So she'd gone to the common room, made the TV show cartoons, and then went into the kitchen and started making breakfast. This meant she was sitting in front of the open fridge door, cracking eggs (badly) and putting them in a bowl on the floor. This would work out a lot better if she was allowed to- or tall enough- to use the stove.

[Open as weetiny common rooms are!]

Ben was checking the various floors for places droid babies might have been stashed or fled their weetiny parents this weekend, and discovered Annie and a whole lot of eggs.

"Wow. What are you making?"

Other than a mess.

"Eggs!" Annie said happily, holding up and unbroken one. "Want some?"

[momslilassassin]

"Thank you," Ben said, taking the egg carefully. "Are you making them scrambled?"

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

She looked at the bowl of eggs (and eggshells, let's face it) and then back to Ben and nodded. "Yes!"

So she picked up the bowl and swished it from side to side. It was the same as mixing it with a fork, right?

[momslilassassin]

Ben winced despite his complete lack of culinary expertise. "Um, let's get you a spoon or something, okay?"

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

"Why?" Annie said cautiously, her eyes going wide. "Am I doing it wrong?"

[momslilassassin]

"Not at all!" Ben said hastily. "This will just be a little faster."

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

"But I'm mixing it all at once, see?" she said, trying to swish the bowl again. "It's eff- effishiant!"

Close, Annie.

[momslilassassin]

"But if you mix it with a spoon, you'll break the yellow parts up better," Ben wheedled.

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

Annie stopped swishing, and looked back at the bowl. "Ohhhhh," she said. "That makes sense."

Well, it sort of did. Spoons weren't for breaking stuff, were they?

[momslilassassin]

"Let's see what I can find," Ben said, rummaging through a drawer. "I found a whisk!"

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

"Yay whisk!" Ohhh, was that ever a fun word to say. "I don't know what a whisk is. What's a whisk?" Whisk whisk whisk.

[momslilassassin]

Ben held it up and it was just about a cool looking as it was sounding, if you were a little kid.

Who didn't get out much.

"It's even better than a spoon for making eggs yummy."

"I can help!" Noah announced when he came into the common room and found some girl making breakfast. "What're you making?"

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

"Eggs!" Annie announced proudly. "Did you ever make them before?"

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"My mommy makes them lots so I can grow up big," Noah told her, which didn't really answer the question. "I can help!"

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

"Those are good qualisfications," she said carefully. She still got it wrong, but good effort. "You should help me break 'em."

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"Inna bowl?" he asked, going over to select an egg in a wee chubby hand. "How do we keep the hard part out?"

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

"We don't put the hard part in," Annie said. What, it was totally logical.

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"'Kay!" Puck then tried to break the egg into the bowl. And now he was going to sit right down and carefully pull out the pieces of shell and put them on the floor, too. At least the big ones. The little pieces could stay. "What d'you wanna put inna eggs?"

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

"We hafta put stuff in them?" she asked, frowning. Had she missed a step? Was there some vital part of egg-making that she'd somehow forgotten?

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"We could put cereal in them!" Noah replied, for he was five and also a genius, okay.

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

"Cereal doesn't go in eggs," Annie said patiently. "Cereal goes in a bowl. With milk, and bananananas! It's part of a balanced breakfast!"

Annie had always had issues. Clearly.

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"Make all the breffast in one spot," Noah replied wisely. "Orange juice too!"

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

"It doesn't work that way," she said, whining just a little.
