Tom and Lily were hungry. They wanted to eat something delicious. They saw some potatoes in the kitchen. They asked their mom if they could cook them.
"Sure, you can cook the potatoes. But you need to be careful and follow my instructions. Do you want to make mashed potatoes?" Mom said.
"Yes, we love mashed potatoes!" Tom and Lily said.
"Okay, then you need to wash the potatoes, peel them, and cut them into small pieces. Then you need to put them in a big pot with some water and salt. I will help you turn on the stove and watch the pot. When the potatoes are soft, we will drain the water and mash them with a fork. Then we will add some butter and milk and mix them well. Do you understand?" Mom said.
"Yes, we understand. Thank you, Mom!" Tom and Lily said.
They did what Mom told them. They washed, peeled, and cut the potatoes. They put them in the pot with water and salt. Mom turned on the stove and watched the pot. When the potatoes were soft, she drained the water and gave them a fork. They mashed the potatoes with the fork. They added some butter and milk and mixed them well.
"Wow, the mashed potatoes look so good and creamy!" Tom said.
"They smell so good and yummy!" Lily said.
They put some mashed potatoes on their plates and tasted them.
"Mmm, they are so delicious!" Tom and Lily said.
"Good job, you made delicious mashed potatoes! I'm proud of you!" Mom said.
They ate their mashed potatoes and enjoyed them. They were happy and full. They thanked Mom and helped her clean the kitchen. They hugged and kissed her.
"We love you, Mom!" Tom and Lily said.
"I love you too, my sweet potatoes!" Mom said.
