I was baking oatmeal raisin cookies with the kids yesterday (gotta finish all that chometz off before Pesach!) and Yisrael said to me, "Mommy, make the cookies really fast!"
I responded, "I am making them as fast as I can!"
To which Yisrael said, "Make them faster, Mommy- don't be so slow!"
I couldn't understand his urgency. "I AM making them fast! Soon they will come out of the oven and then we can eat them!"
"But Mommy, make them faster!" he insisted.
I was starting to get frustrated with him...until I realized what he was thinking- we've been talking about Matzah baking, and how the Matzah is baked very fast so that it won't turn into Chametz....
Yisrael was very excited about his brilliant idea, and I couldn't quite explain to him why we still couldn't eat oatmeal cookies on Pesach even if we DID make them fast!
