My Mother's Cooking by Claire

My mom is going to make cookies.
She walks into the kitchen and
-BANG-
"Ouch!"
She stubbed her toe on the table again.
-CLANK-
She puts the bowl down on the counter
and starts to mix the ingredients.
Clink
Clank
Swoosh
SSSSSSS
"AHHH!"
She burned her finger--again--on the stove
while putting them into the oven.
30 minutes pass, and
-Ding!-
they are done.

Author's Bio: Claire lives with her mother (another Flash Fire 500 contributor) in a less-than-tidy suburban home. She runs the 800 meter for her middle school track team and sprints from her crazy kid brother. Besides writing, Claire enjoys drawing and text-messaging her friends. This is her first published piece.
