Flower Cake

The other night Memaw and Dotty were playing in Dotty's kitchen. They were pretending to make a cake. Memaw had the bowl and she was telling Dotty what to get to add to the "cake mix".

First Memaw told Dotty she needed milk. So Dotty pretended to pour in some milk. Memaw started mixing.

Then Memaw said she needed some eggs. So Dotty pretended to crack some eggs and add them in. Memaw kept mixing.

Then Memaw said she needed some flour. Dotty ran out of the toy room. Memaw had no idea what was up.

About 10 seconds later Dotty came back holding a handful of henbit (the purple "flower" weeds that are growing everywhere...Dotty picks several everyday before she goes into the house). Dotty then threw the henbit in Memaw's bowl.

When Memaw looked at Dotty and asked her why she added them to the bowl Dotty responded by saying "You told me you needed flowers Memaw."

Memaw started mixing again...trying hard not to laugh.

So my child may never make it as baker but I can assure you she comes from a long line of master gardeners and so far it looks like she definitely has a green thumb!
