Y'know what? I love Ana.

She's useful. Not just in the general sense that she can sweep and help wash dishes and all, but in that, by being so wonderful, I can more effectively roll my eyes at other people's bad behaviour. Not other children, that's not fair, I know children develop at different rates, but otherwise competent adults.

Example: Why is that person whining to get what she wants? Geez, even my two-year-old niece knows the best way to get something is to be nice and friendly!

I can do that for things ranging from the really annoying (the whining) to the completely stupid and judgmental (omg, you don't know the capital of Canada?).

I don't do it aloud. That also would be wrong, since it's rude to tell people they're rude. But I can do it in my head and get a wonderful feeling of self-rightousness.

God I'm a jerk sometimes.

I mean, when we're going on stuff Ana doesn't really know, I thought Ana knew her name. Then I realized that she thought "questions involving the word 'name' are answered 'ANA!', or maybe I say 'two!'". It's literally taking me weeks to undo the damage caused by a day-and-a-half of trying to teach her her mother's name....
