The bakers

We made cookie dough this afternoon. I gave James and Thomas each a ball of dough and let them shape it into cookies. James took this very seriously. "Mama, I'm helping out the baker. Next, we should make bread dough and let it rise so we can have bread for dinner... You know, we can give Dad some cookies to take to work tomorrow. Then, if he gets hungry at work, it will be all right because he can have some of the cookies I made him... Mama, I don't think Thomas is interested in his cookie dough anymore. I think he wants me to bake with it now. [Shrieks and grabbing from both quarters] Mama, I don't think Thomas really wants to be a baker. I think he just wants to eat the dough... It is tasty, actually."
