She'll pick something that happened that day, or a day or two ago, and re-enact it for somebody, usually Jenn.
So far she's re-enacted:
The Encounter with the Evil Toe-Eating Death-Door of Doom.
Remember when the Bus Drove Past Us and You Cried?
The Little Girl Who Didn't Want to Take a Nap, and Eventually Fell Asleep to the Cheerful Sounds of False Lamkin.
Honestly, I have no idea why False Lamkin put her to sleep. I mean, it's a song about a guy who got stiffed on a bill, so he murders the whole family, starting with the baby. And he's only able to do this because the person watching the baby let him in. "Here's blood in the parlor, here's blood in the hall, here's blood in the kitchen where he killed them all." Ana is apparently completely untroubled by the potential implications of hearing this as a lullaby. (Honestly, I *do* know normal songs, but none of them *worked* on her today! I had to go through my entire repetoire (well, not really, but quite a few) of Repetetive Songs That Aren't "Ten Green Bottles".)
She's really my brilliant, brilliant niece. *huggles*
The next one better be smart too, and Lizziey's. But hopefully, Evie won't look so good. Honestly, it's annoying to have everybody and then some stop to tell me how gorgeous she apparently is.
