Munchkin nodded vigorously and said, "Of course. | didn't let Grandma helpwith anything."
| could see that he was proud of himself.
"I'm going to let everyone have a taste of my meatballs today," said Munchkin as he drew a big circle in the air
with his arms. It was as though he would be preparing everyone's dinner tonight.
"Okay. You've already stolen the show for preparing the meatballs. Lethelp you with the rest." The maid took
the initiative to pick up the plate filled with meatballs.
Munchkin knew he was not allowed to go near the stove. That was why he did not stop her.
We rested in the living room for a while. Then, the maid called for us for dinner. The whole family sat at the
dining table, chattering away as we had our dinner.

What Petra said was considered a compliment to the adults, but Munchkin did not think so.
"Grandma, you don't believe me," said Munchkin.
Oops, it was just a slip of the tongue. What | mean is, | didn't expect you to be so talented in cooking. You
surprised me," replied Petra.
Munchkin grinned happily when he heard something like that. Only then did he realize that we were praising
him.
"Grandma, don't worry. I'll make more delicious meatballs for you next time. After | learn how to make good
meatballs, I'll make another dish from another country. I'll make croquettes for you!"
"Croquettes?" | was a little confused.
"He's talking about croquettes," Grayson explained to us.
It suddenly dawned on Theo and me.
"Petra and Munchkin were watching TV together and saw an
advertisement. A celebrity was holding croquettes and had addedz everything she wanted into the.
filling Munchkin asked thet
was. We explained to him that it was
a snack. After the little kid found out what it was, he said he wanted to try to make it. We thought that it was a
great idea."
Grayson eventually smiled helplessly while he told us the story.
Cto think of it, it was indeed a great idea. As adults, we had already gotten used to accepting everything
around us. There were hardly any new and creative thoughts in our minds. We just accepted that croquettes
were a French snack.
That was why all this time, we had treated it as a French snack, but we had never thought that the snacks in
other countries were similar to the meatballs in our country.
They could pair with anything, and anything could be added to them. We always added bread crumbs and
cheese into our meatballs, and it was the swith croquettes. They were almost the sthing. There was
just a slight variation in the ingredients and cooking methods, but they were both still flavorful and
tasty.

| could not help but make fun of Munchkin when I heard that. | asked, "Munchkin, have you eaten croquettes
before?"
The little guy shook his head and answered, "No."
"You never tried it before, so how are you supposed to make it for me?" | deliberately asked him to see what his
reaction was.

Easy. Let Daddy help you solve that. Let's have croquettes tomorrow," said Theo.
"Hurray!" The little guy cheered.
"Daddy, where are we going to eat croquettes?" asked Munchkin.
Theo picked up the meatbail on his plate and replied, "We'll head to where the croquettes are made."
Munchkin widened his eyes and asked, " Daddy, we're going to France?"
"Yes," replied Theo.
All of us were surprised when we heard Theo's simple reply.
| put down the cutleries and looked at Theo with a serious expression. Theo looked at everyone at the dining
table.and answered, "Since Munchkin wants to learn how to make croquettes, of course, we'll have to head to «
