Avery Winchester stared at the bottle of maple syrup as if it were the rarest, most unusual thing in the world. Her little mouth was in frown. Dean Winchester whisked by her, his plate empty of pancakes and bacon and eggs. Going back for thirds. "What's wrong, mini-Winchester?" he asked his niece. Avery said nothing. "Did daddy spin the cap, again?"
Sam Winchester rolled his eyes. "Dean, it's a spin on cap," Sam mumbled.
His older brother set his plate down and took off the cap, giving Avery the cap. Avery put the cap on, gave it a little push and stood back. "I done!"
Sam had to go over to his brother and daughter. Syrup was sticky and getting a three year old in the bath was not the easiest or the fun-est thing to do. "You gotta twist the cap."
She stomped her foot. "No!"
"Yes you do," said Sam.
"NO!"
"It will fall off and you'll get sticky and mommy won't be happy," explained Sam. "I can push all the cap all day and it's not gonna stay on. You need to turn it."
Avery began to stomp the ground. "Don't turn it! No! No! No!" she howled. "Now uncle Dean can't pour it!"
Sam chuckled. "Yes, he can. He can pour it just like this."
"NO!" screamed Avery. "I want you to take it off and do it my way! I'm the boss of it!"
Sam looked at his brother. At a loss for words. He shrugged and chuckled. "How can she be the boss of syrup?"
Dean shrugged and loaded up his third plateful of food. "I dunno, man. Cas is the boss of cheeseburgers. Ask him, not me."
"Can I put the sip-pip on your cakes!?" gasped Avery, suddenly happy. She grabbed the bottle of maple syrup. The cap not turned. Dean nodded. She would get a bit sticky but his breakfast would have syrup. Avery began to slather his meal in the syrup.
She pumped the bottle one last time, sending the cap flying and getting syrup on herself and some on Dean. "I told you Avery Ann Winchester," scolded Sam.
"Look what you made me do!" cried Avery, hugging Dean. Dean would protect her from daddy. "Look what you made me do, daddy! If just made me twist the cap, I wouldn't have spilled the sip-pip!"
