When your children finish up the school year
And start their summer break,
Do you whip up a batch of lovely pancakes
Just to celebrate?
Throw in some happy little chocolate chips…
and slice up a few juicy red strawberries….
Just to make to occasion grand.
Then you just might slice those pancakes up fancy…
Pour a little maple syrup right over the top and serve a gorgeous plate of breakfast to those summer lovin’ kids of yours.
“Why thank you dear sweet mother, what a beautiful breakfast!”
They might even say.
All right.
For reals.
Does your breakfast just look like this?
And does your kitchen look like this?
Mine too.
