"Iris dinner is done!" Iris' mom yells from the back door
"Okay mommy I'm coming"
"I guess I have to go home now," Iris says to her friend Riley
"Oh it is fine, I have to come home anyway." She replies
"My mom is cooking dinner and you know it is going to be good! Maybe tomorrow you can come over and eat with us!" Iris tells Riley
"YAAAS! I would love to. Well I'll see you later"
Iris ran home as fast as she can, scared of the gobble gobble monster. Lucas, better known as Luke, told her about it. Luke moved away which relieved her because he was the disastrous kid.
"I am a home mommy!" She yelled as she opened the door
"Come on silly set the table and we will eat my famous dish," Iris' mom said
"When I grow up I want to be a cook just like you!" Iris told her mom
"That sounds wonderful. Maybe you can cook dinner tomorrow with me for your dad."
Iris remembered her friend and nearly jumped off the chair, "Can Riley come over to eat tomorrow. We can cook and daddy will be there and it is going to be amazing!!! I can't wait!"
"Hold on a second there honey I did not say she can come," Iris' mom said to her
Iris came back down and said "oh" in a sorrowful way
"She can come it is fine honey." Her mom said to her. "Finish up it is getting late and you need to go to bed"
Iris was so happy she finished her dinner and passed out in minutes, tired from a long day of summer vacation.

"Iris, sweet cheeks, wake up. I am at home" Her father said
"Welcome home, daddy!"
She jumps on his back then yells " Take me downstairs! I demand you."
They ran downstairs and sat down at the table. As her dad said, " I heard about the whole baking with mom thing. We're going to have a barbecue and invite all her friends."
"Yeah, mommy said that I could help her make a special dinner for you."
"That sounds wonderful," Her father says
"Yeah, I want to become a chef when I grow up, just like mommy is!"
"Why is that?" He says curiously
"Because I want to start my own restaurant by myself, so then I can get a lot of money and give it to you and mommy"
"Iris, sweet cheeks, mommy wouldn't want to take your money"
"But you guys could be rich!" She says cheerfully
"Whatever you want sweet cheeks," He says laughing
"What are you two goofballs laughing about " Iris' mom says walking into the dining room
"We were talking about how I'm going to be a chef and have a restaurant and give you and daddy all my money"
"Ah I see," She says laughing looking at what ingredients she has
"I'm going to go to the store to buy some stuff for an event that's occurring in about 2 days," Her dad says
"Okay daddy don't be long"
"I won't sweet cheeks"
"Daddy stop calling me that, I'm not a little girl anymore," Iris says fake pouting
