“We first mix the dry ingredients. Take out hand out of the sugar pot. ”
Peter carefully shifted the dry ingredients.
“But daddy how did you know?” as David hastily took his hand out of the jar and licked his fingers clean.

“We now need to organize the wet ingredients" Peter carefully measured the milk into the bowl.
"The eggs go in next David. Let me add the butter before I forget Do you want to help me mix this?”

“That looks about right. Let's mix the wet and dry mixtures. The secret of a good pancake is a smooth batter. Now comes the best part we add in chocolate chips and carefully fold it into the pancake mixture. Here some chips for you for being a great helper.”
Peter expertly flipped the pancakes once they started to bubble.
“Let’s lay the table. Get the spoons and glasses for the orange juice. Did you get your card?”
