Episode 203: Keeping Everybody Happy

Can we have pancakes for breakfast? ask the twins. I’ve already poured cereal into bowls, says Mazolli. We can have pancakes tomorrow. The twins seriously consider this offer, conferring quietly for a couple of minutes. Okay, they finally say, cereal today, pancakes tomorrow. You won’t be disappointed, says Mazolli. He slices bananas into the cereal bowls, adds walnut pieces and raisins, splashes on milk, and thumps the bowls down smartly in front of the twins. They dig in happily. Thanks Dad, they say. Terrastina comes into the kitchen. I could sure go for some pancakes this morning, she says.
