The other morning I had a chance for an in depth conversation with a recent visitor. She seemed unusally coherent. I don’t like to sound judgmental, but normally she is likely to be spewing what can only be characterized as gibberish. Mamamamamama. Bababababababababababa. Vavavavavavavava. That is what we usually get. This time was different.
Intrepid Interviewer: Hello Miss Anna Banana – how are you today?
Anna: I am doing good Grandma. 
Interpid Interviewer: Did you have something in particular on your mind today, or you just wanted to chat?
Anna: Well, I have been thinking about a few things.
II: Such as?
Anna: To begin with, I am little worried about my hair. See – I just have this little bit back here. Most of the rest of you have lots of hair – will I get more do you think? What if I grow up with hair like my Dad’s?
II: I am pretty sure you will get more.
Anna: Really?
II: Yes – you see very few 3 years old with no hair. Just give it a chance and it will happen. Your dad shaves his head. He has hair just like the rest of us.
Anna: That is good to know.
II: You look like something else is on your mind. Care to share with us?
Anna: I do wonder about a lot of stuff you know.
II: I am not surprised. Is there something specific you are wondering about right now?
Anna: Why am I so much shorter than everyone else around here? The rest of you are like waaaaaaaay up there and I am down here. I am tired of looking at kneecaps.
II: Children usually get about as tall as their parents, so I don’t think you have to worry about being short for very long. The last I heard you were much taller than most girl babies your same age.
Anna: Oh that is a relief! 
II: I don’t think you have a whole lot to worry about to tell you the truth. You are about the cutest thing I have ever seen.
Anna: That is what they tell me.
II: You know what though – it is about time for your nap.
Anna: Oh – that is SO bogus Grandma!
II: C’mon now – you are looking a little vague and sleepy.
Anna: Yeah – you might be right. A little nap never hurt anyone.
II: And when you get up, we will go outside and play in the grass or maybe mess around with some of your big brother’s stuff when he’s not looking.
Anna: Okay, cool! You rock Grandma!
II: So do you kiddo!
She’s right Dlyn! You Rock!!
Funny interview. Love the rocker hand in the last pic. Priceless!
=)
Majorly LOL! ….. and I still wish I could give her a hug!
Awww, she’s ADORABLE!! Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting my blog AND commenting! I really appreciate it. Just wanted you to know I’ll be adding your blog to my list of reads :) Hugs & Blessings!
I knew she was going to be a punk rocker girl.
I enjoyed that interview and the photos so much! What a cute girl. :)
Beautiful girl you have there. Loved your conversation.
I’ll have you know that at my advanced age of 50++, my dear friend, MentalP, more often than not calls me Annie Bananaie…so dignified…and a nice endearment.
This child has spirit and will make her opinions known as she gets older if the last picture of the pointing finger is any indication. She looks like she’s saying, “And another thing…” She is precious!
You matched the photos with the conversation perfectly. Too funny.
love it!
That last shot’s the best! What a cutie. How’d you get her to sit still for such a long interview? :)
Can you please send her throught he internet so I can pinch those cheeks please! I could eat her up!
Oh. My. Lord. That baby is adorable! Aren’t you lucky lucky lucky!!!
Hey, I am trying to get the word out about something and have a little contest on my blog. Come check it out!
she is ADORABLE…
HUGS Laura
That last picture rocks! Can you photo-shop a Van Halen T-shirt onto her? That would be funny!
OR one that says My Grandma Rocks….
What a fantastic post.
Cute idea.
And an adorable little girl.
She is such a cutie! Don’t worry I know she’ll be glad to see Grandma on the next visit. ( Her hairdo is kinda Jason-like isn’t it?) :)
Hey, love the pictures. The last one of the baby, is she doing the Hawaiian hang loose, shakka thing with the fingers of her right hand. If so, way cool. next words to learn, “Surf’s up dude!”
