Hans peers up over the countertop to the stack of 5 mixes of various sorts awaiting preparation for a women’s get-together tomorrow night.
“Mom?”
“Yes, Hans?”
“Do those have corn?”
“Yes, I’m sorry, they do. They are for a Mommy thing, though, and not for us to eat.”
“Oh.”
…
“Why do they have corn?”
“Because some people are crazy and think everything should have corn in it.”
“Oh.”
…
“Did God make cake?”
“God made all the things that go into cake like eggs and milk.”
“Oh.”
