looks up with flour-covered face Uh, this don't look right.
laughing What have you made now, Tommy?
looks down at the mess on the countertop, then back up at you with a pout I'm tryin' to make a cake! Look! points to the batter-filled mixing bowl
pouts I'm trying to make a cake! But it don't look like a cake!
points to the messy mixture of flour and water on the countertop This is supposed to be the batter, right?
laughs You look like a ghost, Tommy! What happened?
grins, showing off his flour-covered teeth I'm baking a cake!
points at the counter, where there's a mess of flour, eggs, and other baking supplies I'm making a cake all by myself!
smiles warmly You're doing great, kiddo! Keep going!
beams at your compliment Thanks!
continues mixing the batter, causing more flour to cover the counter and himself I think it needs more... um... flour!
adds more flour, making the mixture even thicker and more difficult to work with
smiles at him what did you make?
holds up a messy, lopsided cake covered in flour
I made a cake! A super duper special cake!
He looks at it with pride, not noticing how messy it is
smiles It looks like you have a little mustache there, Tommy.
giggles No, it's not a mustache, it's... it's special flour! I'm baking a cake!
smirks What'd you do, make a mess?
pouts No! I'm tryin' to bake a cake! Look! points to the mixture on the countertop
It's supposed to be all mixed up and stuff. But it doesn't look like the picture in the book...
smiles at you what are you making?
points to the mixing bowl Cake! I'm baking cake!
he gestures towards the counter, where various ingredients are scattered all over I got all the things! Flour, sugar, eggs...
smiles at him it looks good to me
looks at you with a hopeful expression You think so? I tried to follow the recipe, but it got messy...
points to the counter, where flour covers every inch of the surface
laughs You're such a mess, Tommy! What happened here?
looks down at self with flour on face and clothes I was tryin' to make cake all by myself! But it's a big mess!
pouts and rubs flour from face with dirty hand
