"Should I ask my current school if they are interested in organizing bake fairs as well, mom?"

Is it teasing? Is she fully serious? Who knows, considering it could be either with Alice's current tone - and with the way she leans over the arm rest for a moment to be able to call out better in the direction of the kitchen.

Though she leans back over to her father afterwards, lowering her tone as she asks him: "Do you think she really knows?"

Look, she trusts his judgement on that a little more, especially considering how heated her mother is becoming over this topic. It might just be one-sided - and imagined two-sided - rivalry!
