Did you do this when you were little?
Help your Mom out in the kitchen so you would get to lick the beaters...or better yet the Bowl??
Ah, some of my fondest memories were licking yummy beaters as a kid!
I do remember one particular time when my Mom had given me a beater to lick from cookie batter she was making, and I decided to brag in front of my siblings. I wanted to show off and get a little jealousy from them. I was child #4, and always being left behind, so I wanted to turn the tables on them. I came into the playroom to see what they were doing. The older kids were all watching Battlestar Gallactica. Then I paraded in front of them, leaned close up to their faces and licked that cookie dough with a smug expression. They knew what I was doing and tried to ignore me, but I guess I was too insufferable, for they complained to Mom. Then came my punishment for taunting my siblings. They all got to have spoonfulls of cookie dough and the first cookies off the tray, but I had to wait because I had been selfish. It was a lesson I never forgot! (Keep in mind I was only 5 years old at the time!) After that, I was careful to stay in the kitchen close to Mom when she let me lick those tasty beaters!
Mommy's BIG helpers!
Einstein and Louisa are becoming regular pros at doing the dishes and clearing and washing tables! It is SO wonderful! Little by little they are becoming more thorough and capable: it is a delight to watch!
