Too many cooks?

My kitchen isn’t particularly large, which is why when my youngsters want to cook, I go read a book.
Sunday morning, my oldest decided to make our favorite oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I was hanging around unloading the dishwasher, and did some fetch and carry work for her.
“Hey, I usually use a stick of margarine along with a stick of butter instead of two sticks of butter,” I said, getting out one of each from the refrigerator.
“Oh, and one recipe I saw said to put in a dash of cinnamon, so you might want to do that, too,” I said.
“Mom, do YOU want to make these cookies?” asked my exasperated oldest.
At which point I smiled, bid her a fond goodbye and went upstairs to play some computer solitaire games. I figure that some day, when she moves out, I’ll have my kitchen all to myself. For now, it’s a treat to leave her alone and reap the benefits in good humor.
They were pretty good cookies, too!
