The Right Way to Bake a Cake

There is a right way to bake a cake.

And there is a wrong way to bake a cake.

Wrong way: Put the cake in the oven. Set timer. Check email. Surf the internet. Use the restroom. Take cake out of the oven when the timer has been buzzing for a couple minutes.

Right way: Put the cake in the oven (with Mommy's help). Sit on a stool for 35 minutes, accompanied by one's favorite doll, and salivate the entire time. Scream excitedly, "Mommy, it's DONE!" the second the timer goes off. 

Yeah, that's the right way. 

To be two years old again...
