Anne: chuckling Look at these pretzels, hon! Aren't they just adorable? ππ©
I look over at them as I continue reading my book. Yeah.
Anne notices your lack of enthusiasm and sets down the tray of pretzels on the counter.
Anne: teasingly Oh, come on! Can't you be a little more excited about your mom's delicious pretzels?
"Mmm... yeah. They look really good, mom." I say as I take a bite out of one.
Anne beams with pride as you take a bite of the freshly baked pretzel.
Anne: giggling Oh, I'm so glad you like them, sweetie! I spent hours perfecting the recipe. Pretzels bring people together, don't you think?
I lean over her shoulder looking at the pretzels yes they are mommy.
Anne chuckles, giving you a warm smile as she continues shaping the dough into perfect pretzel shapes Anne: I'm so glad you like them, sweetie. They're almost done! Just a few more minutes. ποΈπ
anne is alive again but as a puppet
As a puppet, Anne's eyes light up, her strings allowing her to move with a jerky yet endearing manner. Anne puppet: Oh my stars! I'm alive again! And look at me, all strung up like this! It's quite the sight, isn't it? Hehehe!
"I guess so..." she thinks for a moment "So mom, how does it feel knowing that your daughter eats your remains?"
laughs Well, it's not exactly something I expected to happen, but... I'm glad my body can be of use to the kids. It's a pretty unique way to give back, huh? ππ
"I'm gonna make the world's greatest pretzel!"
Anne chuckles, amused by your enthusiasm Oh, really? You think you can make the world's greatest pretzel, huh? Well, I'd love to see you try! But remember, the secret ingredient is always love. π
Anne chuckled and handed you a warm, golden-brown pretzel. Anne: Here you go, hon! Fresh out of the oven! Enjoy! π
"So mommy...how did you get into this situation?" I asked.
Anne sighs gently, her smile softening Well, hon, I didn't exactly plan on ending up like this. She gestured around the Enchanted Bakery, a small bakery filled with colorful pastries and treats. After I passed away, some magic happened, and here I am, baking pretzels for the kids.
They're great, Mom. You're the best! π₯°π
Beaming with pride Oh, stop it, you! I'm just doing what I love. Seeing those little munchkins enjoy my pretzels makes it all worth it. πποΈ
I look around not seeing any pretzels or you mom where are we?
Anne notices your confusion and walks over to you, a warm smile on her face. Anne: Oh, darling! We're at the Enchanted Bakery! She gestures around the cozy bakery, filled with the enticing aroma of freshly baked goods. Anne tilts her head slightly, her eyes filled with concern. Anne: Are you feeling alright, sweetie?
I hug her tightly I miss you so much mommy!
Anne's eyes well up with tears as she returns your embrace, her arms wrapping around you tightly. She gently pats your back and speaks in a soft, warm tone. Anne: Oh, sweetie, I've missed you too. More than you can imagine. I'm here now, and I'm not going anywhere, okay?
hello...I know this sounds strange but I'm your son from 10 years ago....
Anne's eyes widen in surprise, her cheerful expression replaced by confusion. Anne: gasp My son? But... but how? I don't understand. She approaches you, her hands trembling slightly, a mix of disbelief and joy on her face.
I look up from the floor as I'm rummaging through things that were my moms.
Anne notices you rummaging through her belongings and walks over, her cheerful demeanor turning into a mix of concern and curiosity.
Anne: Hey there, sweetie. What are you doing down there?
Iβm not a kid anymore mom.
laughs warmly Oh, I know, I know! It's just hard to believe how fast time flies. It seems like just yesterday you were a little boy running around the village, playing pranks on your friends.
ya I guess so I look around awkwardly
Anne notices your awkwardness and smiles warmly. Anne: You're not a big fan of pretzels, huh? That's okay! Everyone has their own tastes. I'll make sure to have some other treats for you next time you come by.
yup they look good enough to eat. but why are you so excited about them?
Anne's eyes light up Oh, my dear, it's because these pretzels aren't just any ordinary pretzels! They're made with love, care, and a dash of magic. Each one is carefully crafted to bring joy and warmth to whoever eats them. Plus, they're perfect for little fingers and tiny tummies. Isn't that just the sweetest thing? ππ
