I know you know the saying. A watched pot never boils. I’ve used it a lot, along with all kinds of different renditions.
A watched microwave never beeps.
A watched rice cooker never clicks.
A watched pregnancy test never turns positive.
The list really goes on. Today, however, I was reminded that a watched pot does boil! It just takes WAY longer.
He legitimately stared into the pot until he mentioned mildly “Oh… I think its starting…”
That first face in the picture went along with a dry “Are you taking a video or something?” And then he heard the click of my camera, and smiled for the next one. But I couldn’t not post them both! Look at that cute little mug 😍He loves to cook, or clean up, or really whatever job we could offer him. He is a determined, driven guy. Just like his dad. What an amazing quality to pass down to your kids. Brady and Dekker are planning an oil change date this week, and I couldn’t be more thrilled!
On an unrelated note, Dekker made four boxes of white cheddar mac and cheese tonight, and it was NOT enough. 😳 I’m going to have to enter adulthood soon and make my own. In a baking dish or something. Like a caveman. Cavelady. You get it.
Good job cooking, Dekker!
