<p>I was astonished when I realized that I hadn&#8217;t done a post of <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/Annalie">Annalie&#8217;s tweets</a> for <a href="http://bethanyactually.com/annalieisms-on-twitter-february-2011/">over a year</a>. A YEAR. How did that happen? I have no idea. Let&#8217;s start fixing that, shall we?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bethanygronberg/5490681211/" title="hair flying by bethany actually, on Flickr"><img border="0" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5251/5490681211_e14de71257_z.jpg" width="426" height="640" alt="hair flying"></a></p>
<p><strong>MARCH 2011</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Oh! Sorry I didn&#8217;t brush my teeth yet. I got carried away with my imaginationings.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I know four things that catch fire: cars, forests, any kind of buildings&#8211;like restaurants or homes or movie theaters&#8211;and hair.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Ah, nothing&#8217;s better than a good burp.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;She&#8217;s the cutest little thing. I could just eat her up like an ice cream cake.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bethanygronberg/5493816774/" title="sisters smiling by bethany actually, on Flickr"><img border="0" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5054/5493816774_e4b2f1c1ec.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="sisters smiling"></a></p>
<p>&#8220;Perhaps you would like some e-musement? I&#8217;d be happy to give you some.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Laughed their butts off? That&#8217;s impossible. No one can laugh THAT hard.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I think I&#8217;ll hula-hoop for a bit. It might calm my nerves.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;My baby has beautiful blue eyes&#8230;just like yours truly.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bethanygronberg/5563282204/" title="Annalie blew a bubble with gum! by bethany actually, on Flickr"><img border="0" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5020/5563282204_18776ce548.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Annalie blew a bubble with gum!"></a></p>
<p>&#8220;Now I shall begin my quest for my village!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;(in a deep voice) &#8216;You look wonderful, dipped in magical. You look golden, like you are made of love.&#8217; (falsetto) &#8216;Why thank you, sir!&#8217;&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;When I add the friction between the fractions, should I use seconds, minutes, hours, or days?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;When she grows up she&#8217;ll be just like her mom, a fierce predator! But even then she&#8217;ll still be my baby, Kitty Clover.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Soon everyone will be my butler, and I&#8217;ll be generous to everyone. Who&#8217;s nicer now!?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We have an escaper! I repeat, we have an escaper! Katy escaped!&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bethanygronberg/5573588136/" title="spaghetti inspection by bethany actually, on Flickr"><img border="0" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5294/5573588136_5684f490fa.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="spaghetti inspection"></a></p>
<p>&#8220;Would you like to try my vegetable salad? It&#8217;s famous! It won Healthiest, Tastiest Salad at the county fair. I only use FRESH ingredients.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Yesterday in Sunday School we learned about shepherds and what they <em>technically</em> do.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bethanygronberg/5618591318/" title="Annalie on the front porch by bethany actually, on Flickr"><img border="0" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5102/5618591318_fe014a6b4e_z.jpg" width="426" height="640" alt="Annalie on the front porch"></a></p>
<p><strong>APRIL 2011</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;A clean restaurant is a happy restaurant, I always say. Or at least I&#8217;ll start saying it now.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;This looks like a job for&#8230;Super Sis!&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been workin&#8217; on my beatboxin&#8217;.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;The recipe is: two buns, one burger, lettuce, a pickle, and exactly one thousand sesame seeds&#8211;no more, no less.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bethanygronberg/5618591448/" title="checking out the daffodils by bethany actually, on Flickr"><img border="0" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5221/5618591448_f4fab11735_z.jpg" width="426" height="640" alt="checking out the daffodils"></a></p>
<p>&#8220;When I see a patch of green, green grass it makes me want to spin and jump and run on it.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I think I&#8217;ll go back in time and ask a genius scientist to invent Pokemon.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Circus peanuts are my only weakness.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bethanygronberg/5618591866/" title="Annalie's whiteboard sketch of our dining room by bethany actually, on Flickr"><img border="0" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5142/5618591866_e351588575_z.jpg" width="426" height="640" alt="Annalie's whiteboard sketch of our dining room"></a></p>
<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s blow UP this pop stand!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t care if they&#8217;re called jellybeans. I&#8217;m gonna call them jelly EGGS.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;That is one freaky vehicle. &#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m just the cook and the waitress; I&#8217;m not the person who points the way and shouts the name of the Chicken Pot Clock.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bethanygronberg/5642214025/" title="creating her own wind by bethany actually, on Flickr"><img border="0" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5045/5642214025_1af6bf948a.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="creating her own wind"></a></p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re wasting time! And if we&#8217;re wasting time, we&#8217;re wasting wind.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Note to self: coconut shampoo does not taste as good as it smells.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Airplanes are not my preferred mode of travel. I prefer to travel on the ground. A nice, fun, relaxing trip in a car&#8211;that&#8217;s what I like.&#8221;</p>

<p><em>What’s your favorite cereal?</em></p>
<p>Uh&#8230;Lucky Charms. I also like Reese&#8217;s Puffs.</p>
<p><em>What’s your favorite vegetable?</em></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t really know. No, wait&#8212;it&#8217;s corn. That&#8217;s my favorite vegetable.</p>
<p><em>You know corn is actually a grain. </em></p>
<p>Oh. Heh. Whoops.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bethanygronberg/5578954852/" title="Annalie's salad bar plate by bethany actually, on Flickr"><img border="0" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5174/5578954852_a90a590878.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Annalie's salad bar plate"></a></p>
<p><em>Do you have a favorite vegetable?</em></p>
<p>I especially like broccoli cheese soup. I know what fruit is my favorite, though. It is an APPLE.</p>
<p><em>I&#8217;d say you probably eat at least one apple every day, don&#8217;t you?</em></p>
<p>Uh-huh. Maybe more!</p>
<p><em>What’s your favorite drink?</em></p>
<p>My favorite drink is&#8230;fruit punch. Because it&#8217;s combined with a few fruits and berries. It&#8217;s really good. But I also like root beer. I actually have quite a few favorite drinks, like apple juice, Diet Rite, Sierra Mist, ginger ale.</p>
<p><em>What’s your favorite snack?</em></p>
<p>I have to say my favorite snack is perhaps maybe apples and peanut butter. No, just apples. I also really like Lunchables! I guess I have quite a few snacks I like.</p>
<p><em>What’s your favorite toy?</em></p>
<p>My Little Ponies.</p>
<p><em>What’s your favorite book?</em></p>

<p><em>What’s your favorite movie?</em></p>
<p>Have I ever seen Mr. Popper&#8217;s Penguins?</p>
<p><em>No, we read the book. </em></p>
<p>Oh yeah. My favorite movie is&#8230;I like <a href="http://press.discovery.com/asia-pacific/dsc/programs/cellar-skeletons-pompeiis-living-dead/">that movie about Pompeii</a> we watched on Netflix. Also, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1564349/">Dolphin Tale</a>.</p>
<p><em>What’s your favorite game?</em></p>
<p>Animal Adoption. It&#8217;s a game where you can play with two people or more. You see, each person takes a turn being the person who&#8217;s going to adopt an animal. And the other person pretends to be a dog or cat or something. And you adopt them! Each person has to get a turn being a pet and the person. Usually I play this game with <a href="http://secret-agent-josephine.com/blog/">Bug</a>.</p>
<p><em>What’s your favorite restaurant?</em></p>
<p>Wheatfields, because I love their cheese fondue, a doodle-a-doo!</p>
<p><em>What’s your favorite holiday?</em></p>
<p>Valentine&#8217;s Day, because you can make crafts and you get to make cookies, and it&#8217;s just fun.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bethanygronberg/5445924492/" title="My sassy Valentine by bethany actually, on Flickr"><img border="0" src="http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4112/5445924492_c4c95ff413.jpg" width="248" height="372" alt="My sassy Valentine"></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bethanygronberg/5445923934/" title="Elliora finds supervising the art boring by bethany actually, on Flickr"><img border="0" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5171/5445923934_757b4fda49.jpg" width="248" height="372" alt="Elliora finds supervising the art boring"></a></p>
<p><em>What’s your favorite animal?</em></p>
<p>Cheetah and whale shark. I also like certain species of turtles, and dolphins.</p>
<p><em>If you could change your name, what name would you choose?</em></p>
<p>Grace. It&#8217;s majestic and beautiful.</p>
<p><em>What do you love about each person in our family?</em></p>
<p>I love Katy because she is very strong-willed and she can take Elliora grabbing at her. I like Lily because she&#8217;s very calm and like a queen. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bethanygronberg/6199588187/" title="petting Katy by bethany actually, on Flickr"><img border="0" src="http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6152/6199588187_5f7701d217.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="petting Katy"></a></p>

<p>I love Elliora because she&#8217;s so cute and she&#8217;s FEARLESS, not afraid of anything. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bethanygronberg/6361969655/" title="Annalie &amp; Elliora in the leaf pile by bethany actually, on Flickr"><img border="0" src="http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6054/6361969655_6420910185.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Annalie &amp; Elliora in the leaf pile"></a></p>
<p>I love Mama because she can make me blankets and other stuff, and I love to bake with her and her cooking&#8217;s really good. I love Dad because he does stuff a lot with me and he plays video games with me and he&#8217;s silly and makes me laugh. That&#8217;s it. </p>

<p>Hawaii.</p>

<p><em>Note: I interviewed Annalie for this post back in February or March, wrote it up and added photos and everything, and then&#8230;got stalled. What stalled me? I needed to take one photo of a self-portrait drawing Annalie did that was hanging in my kitchen. That is my life right now: I&#8217;m going in a million directions all the time and couldn&#8217;t even manage to take a photo&#8212;of something I see every day&#8212;for months. Sheesh. </p>
<p>On with the interview!</p>
<p>:: :: :: :: :: </p>
<p>What is your name?</em></p>
<p>Annalie.</p>
<p><em>How old are you?</em></p>
<p>Six.</p>
<p><em>Where do you live?</em></p>
<p>Washington, D.C. Well, actually we live in [Town], [State].</p>
<p><em>Do you have any pets?</em></p>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bethanygronberg/5213653434/" title="giving the cat a haircut by bethany actually, on Flickr"><img border="0" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5087/5213653434_3c1a508729.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="giving the cat a haircut"></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bethanygronberg/5188920864/" title="Lily on the couch by bethany actually, on Flickr"><img border="0" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4090/5188920864_ed33405b14.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Lily on the couch"></a></p>
<p><em>Wanna tell me about them?</em></p>
<p>Yes. I have two pet cats. Their names are Katy and Lily, and they&#8217;re very sweet. They&#8217;re both girls, and Katy really likes to spend time with me; Lily, not so much. But Lily really likes it when I scratch her belly!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bethanygronberg/4939838219/" title="Bug, Rapunzel, Annalie &amp; Spreckles the dog by bethany actually, on Flickr"><img border="0" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4098/4939838219_b47d7fc25f.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Bug, Rapunzel, Annalie &amp; Spreckles the dog"></a></p>
<p><em>Who do you like to play with?</em></p>
<p>I like to play with <a href="http://secret-agent-josephine.com/blog/">Bug</a>, and <a href="http://imcomfortablycrazy.com/cc/">Suki and Amber</a>, and I like to play with <a href="http://bethanyactually.com/nebraska-indiana-trip-indiana-part-1/">Gabby and Annie</a>. Sometimes I like to play with Mackenzie. She isn&#8217;t as rough as <em>some</em> kids. Also Christa and Cassie and Jack and Morgan and Dylan. And Daddy! I like to play with Daddy, and Elliora.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bethanygronberg/4769475389/" title="girlfriends by bethany actually, on Flickr"><img border="0" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4135/4769475389_37d0f3d379.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="girlfriends"></a></p>
<p><em>What’s your favorite cereal?</em></p>
<p>Hmmm&#8230;Lucky Charms!</p>
<p><em>What’s your favorite vegetable?</em></p>
<p>I like carrots because they&#8217;re good plain and with ranch, and also good cooked. I also like peas; they taste good plain and cooked. This is an odd thing to tell people, but I also like peas sometimes in ranch dressing. It&#8217;s good, you should try it!</p>
<p><em>What’s your favorite drink?</em></p>
<p>I like&#8230;lemonade, and I like root beer, and sometimes chocolate milk. Oh, and I like Kool-Aid! Ah, the sweet taste of Kool-Aid.</p>
<p><em>What&#8217;s your favorite flavor of Kool-Aid?</em></p>
<p>Fruit punch. For the record, I really like the kind you drop in the little tablet and you see it fizz up and evolve into the whole drink!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bethanygronberg/5397032877/" title="food face by bethany actually, on Flickr"><img border="0" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5215/5397032877_75f92a0fd3.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="food face"></a></p>
<p><em>What’s your favorite snack?</em></p>
<p>Strawberry cream cheese roll-up, and crackers and cheese. I like simple kinds of crackers, like Club Crackers or Ritz, and cheddar cheese.</p>
<p><em>What’s your favorite toy?</em></p>
<p>I like a lot of toys, that&#8217;s hard!</p>
<p><em>Well, I just remembered I need to put the cookie dough in the fridge. Hang on a sec.</em></p>
<p>That&#8217;s good, I can think about it for a minute then.</p>
<p><em>Okay, did you think of a favorite toy?</em></p>
<p>I did think of a type of toy I really like, but it&#8217;s not really a <em>specific</em> toy. I like toys you can play with in pools like goggles and flippers. I especially like goggles because you can put them on and see underwater!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bethanygronberg/5031193949/" title="splishing and splashing by bethany actually, on Flickr"><img border="0" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4109/5031193949_3e39df1ac4.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="splishing and splashing"></a></p>
<p><em>What’s your favorite TV Show?</em></p>
<p><a href="http://pbskids.org/wildkratts/">Wild Kratts</a>. And I like Johnny Test, Pokemon, Spongebob, Fairly Oddparents, <a href="http://www.nbc.com/chuck/">Chuck</a>, and Dragonball Z-Kai. Did you write all those down?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bethanygronberg/5348004163/" title="happy girl by bethany actually, on Flickr"><img border="0" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5243/5348004163_c8401324c4.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="happy girl"></a></p>
<p><em>What’s your favorite movie?</em></p>
<p>I like <a href="http://adisney.go.com/disneypictures/tangled/?int_cmp=dcom_tan_WDSMP_dcom_charaport_thumb_PS_Intl#/home/">Tangled</a>, and I also like <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0482603/">Space Chimps</a>.</p>
<p><em>What’s your favorite game?</em></p>
<p>Angry Birds. And I also like, um&#8230;the game I almost always play with Daddy, the car-racing game. It&#8217;s one where you can drive anywhere, like off-road and up the mountains, and you can do leaps. Sometimes you can <em>feel</em> it in the game controller when you jump off things! It&#8217;s kind of funny.</p>

<p><em>What’s your favorite book?</em></p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boxcar_Children">The Boxcar Children</a>. It starts out a bit sad, but then it ends really happy. And one of the girls&#8217; names is Violet, which is my sister Elliora&#8217;s middle name!</p>
<p><em>What’s your favorite restaurant?</em></p>
<p>Ooh, I like a lot of restaurants. That one in Omaha we go to a lot, what&#8217;s it called?</p>
<p><em>Wheatfields, the one with the fountains?</em></p>
<p>No, the one we go to with Uncle Ben a lot, where sometimes we can get balloon animals?</p>
<p><em>Oh, Spaghetti Works? </em></p>
<p>Yeah, <a href="http://www.spagworks.com/">Spaghetti Works</a>! And I like <a href="http://www.wheatfieldscatering.com/">Wheatfields</a> too. They have fondue, and the big paintings, and the fountain! I love that place. Maybe we could go there for my actual birthday dinner, since we&#8217;ll be in Omaha? </p>
<p><em>Sure, we can do that.</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bethanygronberg/5714510919/" title="seven! by bethany actually, on Flickr"><img border="0" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2286/5714510919_a36e7c1593.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="seven!"></a><br />
<em>(We did!)</em></p>
<p>Can we get cheese fondue?</p>
<p><em>Yes we can.</em></p>
<p>I love that! I cannot get enough of that.</p>
<p><em>What’s your favorite holiday?</em></p>
<p>My favorite holiday iiiiiizzz&#8230;Easter, Valentine&#8217;s Day, and Christmas. Because on Christmas you sometimes get to go sledding, and you get Advent calendars, and you get to open presents right away in the morning, even in your pajamas! And on Valentine&#8217;s Day, sometimes you get Valentines and gifts, and you can make cookies. And on Easter you get to go Easter-egg hunting. Sometimes on Easter my mommy gets me and Dad special baskets, and she&#8217;ll probably get a little basket for Elliora this year too.</p>

<p><em>What’s your favorite animal?</em></p>
<p>Horses. I like horses.</p>
<p><em>If you could change your name, what name would you choose?</em></p>
<p>I would choose&#8230;[thinking]&#8230;Crystal! It&#8217;s a pretty name, isn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p><em>What do you love about each person in our family?</em></p>
<p>I love that Elliora is a cute baby, and I&#8217;m glad that Katy and Lily are nice and gentle and they love me. And I&#8217;m glad that Daddy is a funny guy and he almost always tickles me, it&#8217;s so fun. And I&#8217;m glad that Mommy&#8217;s cooking is delicious, and she is really good at making me birthday cakes. They taste the best when they&#8217;re made by my mom&#8212;not just any old mom, MY mom.</p>
<p><em>Aw, thanks. I&#8217;m happy you like my cakes.</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bethanygronberg/5213654376/" title="mini pumpkin pies by bethany actually, on Flickr"><img border="0" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5283/5213654376_6bcaa53e3f.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="mini pumpkin pies"></a></p>
<p>And remember that one time you made those <a href="http://bethanyactually.com/mini-pumpkin-cheesecake-pies/">mini pumpkin cheesecakes</a>? Those were soooo good.</p>
<p><em>Thanks!</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bethanygronberg/5572998979/" title="little cousin, big cousin by bethany actually, on Flickr"><img border="0" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5100/5572998979_58113647c5.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="little cousin, big cousin"></a></p>
<p>And I&#8217;m glad that Aurora is one year old and she&#8217;s cute and adorable and can walk now! I&#8217;m glad she&#8217;s my cousin. I can&#8217;t wait till the next time I get to see her!</p>
<p><em>What do you love most about yourself?</em></p>
<p>Well, that&#8217;s hard. </p>
<p><em>Why, because you like so many things about yourself?</em></p>
<p>No, because if I say things I like about myself, it&#8217;s sort of like I&#8217;m saying, &#8220;I&#8217;m pretty and you&#8217;re not!&#8221;</p>
<p><em>You mean like bragging?</em></p>
<p>Yeah. I just don&#8217;t think it would be very polite, would it?</p>
<p><em>Well, there&#8217;s a difference between bragging and just saying things you&#8217;re good at.</em></p>
<p>I guess so.</p>
<p><em>So is there anything you think you&#8217;re good at or that you like about yourself that you can say without bragging?</em></p>
<p>I think I&#8217;m good at making pancakes. I&#8217;m a good cook, when I have help from you. And I&#8217;m good at coloring, and I&#8217;m also good at playing Angry Birds. </p>

<p><em>Where would you like to go on vacation this year?</em></p>
<p>Hawaii.</p>
<p><em>Well, we&#8217;re not gonna make it to Hawaii this year. But I think we are going to visit <a href="http://bethanyactually.com/busy-having-fun/">Erin and Rocco in Oregon</a>, how does that sound?</em></p>
<p>Good!</p>
<p><em>What are some of your wishes for this year?</em></p>
<p>This year I wanna have a Zoobles treehouse. And I wish I could see Niagara Falls! That would be the funnest thing in the entire world. And I want to <a href="http://bethanyactually.com/annalie-lost-her-first-tooth/">lose more teeth</a>! Another one is loose, I think.</p>
<p><em>Thanks for the interview, Annalie!</em></p>
<p>You&#8217;re welcome, Mama.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This afternoon, I was sitting on my parents&#8217; front porch nursing Elliora and watching Annalie blow bubbles when we spotted cat in the neighbor&#8217;s yard. I heeeeere-kitty-kitty-kittied her, as I always do when I see a cat. To my surprise she turned and immediately trotted up to us, dropping to the ground and offering her belly to scratch. My mom said she thought the cat belonged to their neighbor on the other side, as she&#8217;d seen it around a lot. We spent the next few minutes exclaiming what a pretty kitty she was with her calico-tabby coat, and petting her as she walked back and forth between us, rubbing up against our hands and purring. </p>
<p>Annalie thought the cat might like to chase some bubbles, so at some point she picked up the bubble wand and blew a stream of bubbles in the cat&#8217;s direction. It startled the cat, who jumped and then wandered off to the other side of the yard.</p>
<p>Annalie said, &#8220;Huh. I thought all cats liked to chase bubbles!&#8221;</p>
<p>I replied that clearly that was not the case, since this cat didn&#8217;t want to. </p>
<p>Annalie said, &#8220;I think maybe she lives with a family that has a child who was OBSESSED with bubbles. And that child has blown bubbles in her cute little face so many times that it was like torture.&#8221; </p>
<p>We tried not to laugh, but couldn&#8217;t help it. As we cracked up, Annalie&#8212;dignity intact&#8212;said, &#8220;What? It could happen!&#8221;</p>
<p>My mom shook her head and said, &#8220;Annalie, you have so many stories in that head of yours!&#8221;</p>
