We were just baking some Halloween Biscuits?
It such a shame that as adults we lose our sense of innocence as we’re sharpened by experience and shaped by reality.
I was baking with my daughter this afternoon, a sure sign that Half-term has broken me, as I find baking incredibly stressful.
‘Don’t get shells in there, Stop flicking the batter everywhere and Don’t lick your fingers if you have raw egg on them’
Like any good mum, we hit Google images (filtered of course) and found some Halloween themed biscuits AKA cookies that looked easy enough.
We were happily attacking one of those just add water baking kits, when it all of a sudden dawned on me I wouldn’t be able to post pictures of them online. It would come across brash and incentive with recent news reports.
If you’re wondering, we made headless gingerbread men and skeletons. How could I be so intensive with the recent IS attacks and yes, I did guiltily think about the reference to eating disorders! Insane!
Luckily, I had a friend reeled me back in and reminded me that for my 7 year old it was just baking and she’s oblivious to the IS beheadings.
‘Hey, she’s just a child and she doesn’t need to be aware – she’s happy doing her baking and that’s what childhood should be about’.
I’ve decided that I would rather live my life through the eyes of a child.
Do I worry too much?
yes you worry too much and think too deep ,and what a good mummy to bake with her in the first place
