She's getting smarter!
Mar. 30th, 2009 11:59 amSaturday, I went out. Ana was sitting on the porch, moping that her sister was sick and asleep. (Evangeline is still under the weather, though now that her stuffiness has gone on for nearly a week I wonder of some of it isn't allergies. She does tend to a runny nose yearly.)
After I'd gone down a block I realized I'd forgotten to grab a Metrocard, so I ran back in the house and passed my bag to Ana on the way up. "Ana! Guard this WITH YOUR LIFE. Don't let ANYBODY take it."
And she did! As I came back down I took my bag. "Thanks honey! Waaaaaaaiiiit... I told you not to let anybody take this. Did you let somebody take my bag?"
I was so sure I was going to catch her with that one, too! But no...
"No, I - I mean, yes, I did. I let you take it, Connie!"
She's getting too smart, I tell you. Next thing we know, she'll be plotting her own worldwide takeovers!
(Or maybe not. That's the sort of thing antisocial bullied kids do, isn't it? Ana's very popular. Seriously, we were at the checkout at a store when three of her friends walked in. "Ana? ANA!" *groupglomp* It was a little disturbing.)
