Slacker Mom’s Winning Recipe for Waffles

August 18, 2006 – 10:14 pm |

We’re spending the weekend with grandma (my m-i-l).

My oldest son (the one who’s turning 5) started telling her – in the total deadpan seriousness only a five-year-old could have when having this conversation…

“Grandma, I should give you my mom’s recipe for waffles. They’re really good.”

“Oh really, how does she make them?”

“Well, first you pick out the kind you want. Then you take them out of the freezer and put them in the toaster. Then you put whatever you want on them, and you eat them. They’re really good.”

See, he doesn’t care that I’m a slacker mom.

Grandma, of course, is making breakfast to order tomorrow. Chocolate chip pancakes. “But it’s too bad you can’t make those waffles mom makes.” Hee.
