William
Mission from Mom: make brownies to go with ice cream for Sr. Antonia's last night of visitation.William's Preference: a million other things he'd rather be doing, not the least of which is making chain mail armor out of pvc and silver paint. Or reading.
Or playing with the dog. Or napping. Or anything but making brownies.Strategy: wander in to where Mom is folding clothes and say: "How high does our oven go? Like, how hot?"
To which Mom responds:
So he clarifies: "Does it go up to 700°?"
Sister Antonia is sitting next to me, and we look at each other with narrowed and knowing eyes. Sister says: "You don't have to double the temperature if you double the recipe, William!"
But he makes like exasperated and says: "No, no, no, I know that! I just want to be done twice as fast!"
