We’re both fine on our own, but if Mom is around, suddenly we’re super dependent and feel the need to defer to her on every decision. We both will constantly call out for her. It doesn’t even matter where she is in the house. And we both say out loud what we’re going to do next, probably for Mom to hear.
“Ok, I’m reducing the heat! Chris! Chris?! I’m reducing the heat! The package says to reduce the heat!!!”
And we both, without a doubt, will quickly become increasingly panicked and hysterical.
“Mom do you think my cookies are done yet? Do you think they’re done? I think they’re done! Mom?! MOM!… NO ONE CARES ABOUT MY COOKIES!”
