Anh Sang saw absolutely nothing wrong with the broken nuts that came tumbling out of the bag. Sure, they weren't perfect but she figured that Wei had meant to do that. It was kind of weird to think that you could smash things perfectly anyways. And the girl thought about it a bit more and decided that perfect could be boring, too. Obviously, this meant that their cookies were going to be amazing.

"What kind of things did you cook? I used to help Mommy sometimes at home," she offered, peeking into the bowl. "I'm not allowed to do anything with the oil, though, because she always worries I'll get hurt doing that."

"Oh, we do some of those, too, but not often," Anh Sang said, watching with interest as the nuts swirled into the batter. "Mommy and Daddy are always pretty busy. Mommy does things with um. Some kind of gas? Daddy's a doctor for the head. So we just had take out a lot."

"Grandma does a lot of cooking, though, but it's all fish and I don't like it too much." People always said that she ate it a lot as a baby, though. She figured that she just spent too much time with the koi fish. They were really pretty but the water was always just plain gross.
