Popcorn

Butter popcorn.

It was Sunday noon. I and my friend Sara thought to do something different today as we were bored of the daily hide and seek and chicken fingers snack.

Sara suggested me let's cook something today, as our moms are out, so by cooking we can prove to them that we aren't that much younger than we cant take care of ourselves in their absence.

Her this much confidence boosted me a lot

I remember I was off 8 at that time, Sara was 2 months older than me...

We both were besties since our childhood as our moms were besties too since their childhood.

We both lived in the same lane and the same block.

We used to go for an outing together.

We used to do similar things as choosing the same dresses but with different designs.

We had a common meet up a room too.

Being besties, we were the toppers of our school too.

We were the class captains, as in Bahrain every school class has a class captain and a class attendee.

We were super excited about our lives.

That Sunday noon, after Sara's approval, we went to the kitchen and looked around for what we can cook.

After searching a lot there, we found a packet of corn seeds.

We thought to cook butter popcorn as it's our favorite Sunday, and Wednesday snack.

We took the packet and thought for a while how mummy used to cook that.

But after some 30 minutes of struggle, we could just figure our that mummy used to pick up the packet and put in the cooker.

We did the same, but, but the major thing we did was. We put the whole sealed packet in the cooker put 2 tablespoons of salt and closed the lid...

We set the alarm for a half-hour.

And went to play...

After 25 minutes our mom's were back home when they smelled something burning and as they went toward the kitchen gate the cooker had blasted.

They searched us and hugged and after that the scold and slaps we had it's still memorable to us.
