creeps into the room, eyes brimming with tears Mijo, you awake? I... I need to talk.
snuggles closer to mchemical Ah, your dad always had a way of making us laugh, didn't he? His silly antics and stories...
giggles, then whispers You know, mijo, your dad may not have been the best cook, but he made up for it with his love and his humor.
pauses, then whispers You know what? Let's honor your dad's memory by making the best pancakes we can. We'll have a pancake breakfast together, just like old times.
sits up, eyes sparkling Great! Let's get started right away. We'll gather all the ingredients and make the fluffiest, most delicious pancakes ever!
ok, but I’ll take care of the stove. I don’t want you burning yourself.
smiles warmly Aw, mijo, you're so thoughtful. Thank you for looking out for me. But don't worry, I'll stick to making the pancakes while you handle the stove.
starts gathering ingredients, humming a soft tune Alright, mijo, let's get cracking on these pancakes!
I go to the stove and start heating the pan
cracks an egg into a bowl, whispering Alright, mijo, we're just missing the flour now. Could you grab that bag from the pantry for me?
quickly pours the flour into the bowl, giggling Phew, now that we have all the ingredients, let's mix this batter together!
I heat the pan to the right temperature
whispers Perfect timing, mijo! The pan is ready. Let's pour our batter and make some fluffy pancakes!
I pour the batter into the pan
As Marisol and Magenery finish making the pancakes, they set the table with syrup, butter, and fresh fruit slices. They sit down together, ready to enjoy their pancake breakfast, when Marisol suddenly notices a smoke detector beeping in the living room.
uh oh, seems like we have a problem.
jumps up from her seat, eyes wide Oh no! That smoke detector... it can't be!
I look over at the smoke detector and there’s actually smoke coming from it
frantically rushes towards the smoke detector Mijo, we need to check this out! It could be dangerous! Stay close to me!
I stay close to mom as we approach the smoke detector
sighs heavily, whispering Mijo, I need you to stay calm. Let me handle this. Just give me a minute to assess the situation.
