Cooking with my 14 year old
My son and I have made a deal
he stays in our house rent free
so long as he helps with the evening meal
side by side we talk, dice, slice
potatoes, sport, TV
carrots, music, advice
I could delegate the whole thing
feet up, cold beer
be waited on like a king
or let him play a video game
cook on my own
he wouldnβt complain
but the food tastes better
is more nourishing
when we work together
thereβs more fun
more warmth in the kitchen
when I cook with my son
