[ Here's Jesse again, but this time he is smiling, clearly excited. ]

It's been forever since I've been to a water park. Those are the best in summer. I've already gotten my swimming trunks.

Is anyone going?

Yeah, but how many recipes do you know?

[A little half-smile.]

When was the last time you had something really good? Like your mom used to make?

[video]

[therightchoice]

Um. I know how to make a hotdog. And some soup.

[ Oh wow, when was the last time his mom cook him anything? ]

I remember she made some really good Shepard's Pie.

D'you want someone to make you shepherd's pie? Or anything different, maybe? I mean, I remember when I was first living on my own, and for a month all we could afford was rice. I got so sick of it. I'd hate to think of you having to deal with that, you know?

[You see small child she's just a friend doing a friendly thing. Not trying to meddle as a grown-up or anything.]

[ There's a smile growing slightly on his face. ]

I'd like that.

[momchester]

Great.

In the meantime, do you think you could help me with something? Ben's at camp during the day so when I am home, I don't have anyone to give me advice.

[therightchoice]

Whatcha need help for?

[momchester]

Well, I'm making brownies, and I have two different kinds of fudge I can use, but I don't know which one is better.

[therightchoice]

I can help with that.

[ He totally helped Mom with brownies. ]

[momchester]

Good. I need a taste tester.

[therightchoice]

I'm a good taste tester, my mom had me test all of the stuff she made.

[momchester]

Well then, I might need your expertise.
