Happy Morning

Today has been a good morning for me!  Mom wasn't home today, so I decided to make some pancakes for my brother and me!

I normally don't cook for multiple reasons.

1. I used to be not allowed to cook.  Sometimes, I forget that I'm kinda sorta allowed to now. (Kinda.  Parents are still insanely iffy.)
2. It's... new to me.  Like I said, I used to be not allowed to.  And so I'm scared of messing up and burning the house down and all those other things my parents told me would happen.
3. Mom's always in the kitchen.  I personally try to avoid contact with my mom when possible.

However, today, she's out! So I did pancakes.

(The little one on the top is so cute~!)

It was a really nice experience.  I actually have a kind of maternal instinct that comes out from time to time.  Also, it was my first time doing pancakes on my own!

I'm really happy about how they came out, too.  I put in chocolate and mint chips in there (cuz I love chocolate <3 ).  They came out all light and fluffy~

(I feel like I'm making a bigger deal of this than it actually is though LOL)
