Babysitting today!

*nodnodnod*

Ana's really growing up (and I'm inviting Seth over. They're easier to watch together). She runs now. Before, she just walked really fast. And she trips less often. And she chatters away in her non-English. It's sooooo cute.

She's also a non-sharer. We've traced her habit of kicking her dad in bed to this idea that the boobs are HERS, the bed is HERS, and he'd better get out. I hope she grows out of that soon, because none of it's true.

Hm. She called Americans (in general idiots)

But I have a question.

"They tortured people in Iraq, they [the Iraqis] have no weapons of mass destruction. Could somebody explain to me whether you think they're idiots or geniuses?"

Did she never learn when NOT to use pronouns? You can't say they unless you specify who "they" means. A sentence like this is unclear, because she seems to mean that the US has no weapons of mass destruction which is 1. probably untrue and 2. not relevant.

Not saying that the People in Power aren't idiots, but... basic English, please!

What sort of country IS this? Has it always been like this?

*curls up in a ball*

I wanna move.

So tomorrow is my mom's birthday.

She wants to go to a drumming thing in the park (we must give Lizziey instructions, because she's invited). When Lizziey heard about this, she got all upset because "I might not be able to make it, I'd have to go from brooklyn, home to pick up the kid, then back into manhattan". *giggles* Because it'd be such a hardship for Jenn or 'dul who live right by here to pick up Seth beforehand. Or me, even. Silly Lizziey. *hugs*

Tomorrow is also the first day of class. Hello to: English 2, Core 9, and lab!

Yeah, that didn't go over too well. Sorry.
