--

Alice gazed down at the face at her four year old daughter. The small girl was attempting to look sorry for her actions but with the flour smeared on her face it didn't look very convincing. In fact Alice had to stifle a small laugh as she remembered she was trying to be stern at the moment.

“Dinah, would you like to explain this?” She waved an arm to the surroundings. The flour covered surroundings to be exact.

“The kitchen.”

Alice sighed. “Yes I know this is the kitchen, would you like to tell me about this?” She wiped some flour off of the girls shoulder.

“It's flour.”

“Yes....but why is it there.”

“Tin fell.” Dinah replied simply and with a perfectly straight face.

Alice folded her arms and raised her eyebrows. “And how did it fall?”

Dinah looked down at the floor, her flour dusted hair covering her face. “It fell?” Was all she said and Alice sighed again.

“Were you involved in this falling, in any way?”

Dinah looked up from the ground. “I dropped it! I didn't mean to! I didn't!”

Her reaction surprised Alice. “Why we're you trying to get the flour?” She asked in a softer tone.

“I wanted to see..” Dinah muttered looking back down at her feet suddenly embarrassed.

“What did you want to see?”

“I wanted to see if there was really flowers in there.”

This time it was very hard for Alice to stop herself from laughing. “And why would you think real flowers would be there?”

“Uncle Dee and Uncle Dum told me!” Dinah nodded quickly. “They said that's why its called flower!”

Alice shook her head. “Well I might have to have a word with those to.”

Dinah's grin disappeared. “No flowers?”

“No. Haven't you seen me bake with the flour before.”

“I thought they were really tiny.” Dinah replied, folding her arms and pouting.

Alice patted her daughter on her head. “Well tell you what. We'll go find you some real flowers outside.”

Dinah's face lit up.

“But only if you help me clean up.” Alice stated and then glanced over the flour covered girl. “We should get you some clean clothes too.”

“Yea!” Dinah cheered and grabbed her mother's waist in a hug.

Alice smiled as she hugged her daughter. “I may need to change before we go as well.” She said, more to herself as she realized that she now had flour on her pants.
