M: Time to eat!
W: Coming. Oh, I’m starving. Oh yuck! What’s that?
M: Ah, now don’t complain!
W: But what is it, and where is mom?
M: Now, [5] mom put me in charge of dinner because she’s not feeling well tonight.
W: But what is it… and that smell!
M: It’s pizza. [6-1] I just followed an old family recipe here, and…
W: Let me see that… Oh, Dad. [6-2] You’re missing a page!
M: Oh, uh, well, uh… well I couldn’t find the second page of the recipe, but don’t worry. I have plenty of experience around the house. Plenty of experience in cooking.
W: That’s not what mom says.
M: Well, wait, wait, here, [7-1] let me try a piece first. Here, let me cool this off here. Oh, yeah. Oh, this is great stuff.
W: Yeah right. [7-2] Why are you making faces?
M: Well, well, it’s just, just a little rich for me. That’s all.
W: Let me try it, dad. Uh, dad. You put a little too much salt in it and besides it’s burned. And what’s that?
M: Oh, well, well, that’s just part of my own adaptation to the recipe. I added some pumpkin.
W: Oh, not another one of your surprises. Pumpkin doesn’t go on pizza!
M: Well, okay, well, so what? Uh, what do we do now?
W: Well, [8] how about some cold cereal… You can’t mess up on that, Dad.
M: Oh, I love cereal.
