Annalie and Bug’s whipped-cream and pah wishes
August 26th, 2010
Bug lost a shoe at the beach the other day. We had walked a couple of blocks uphill away from the beach by the time we realized it was missing (she was sitting in the jog stroller), so I waited with the kids while Brenda went back down to look for the shoe. Annalie and Bug were having a fantastic talk about their wishes, mainly involving wanting the world to be made of delicious foods, so I scrambled for my camera and took a couple of short videos. They’re upside-down because I was trying not to interrupt the flow of their hilarious conversation.
Sadly, I missed taping the part where Bug was wishing the whole world were made of candy. Annalie informed her that if the world were made of candy, then she’d have to go to the dentist a lot. “Why?” Bug wanted to know.
“Because if you ate all that candy, then you’d get lots of cavities,” Annalie informed her.
Bug thought about that for a minute. “But I wouldn’t eat a LOT of candy every day, I would just eat ONE piece.”
“Then you should just wish for one special piece of candy every day,” Annalie advised her. “That way you’d enjoy it more.”
“Yeah,” Bug immediately agreed. “You’re right. I would just wish for one special piece every day.”
*Pah is Bug’s word for pacifier. She has pretty much stopped using pahs, but she remembers them fondly.

As we were about to walk out the door to go to dinner, Annalie announced that she needed to make a movie of a song for me. Then she made the song up on the spot. Yep, she is singing about The Doctor. I especially love the flourish at the end of the song, and how she makes her exit.
p.s. We got the house. We move in Monday. Photos coming soon.

Annalie and I have watched this superfun video three times in a row. Now I’m off to google Kristin Andreassen. (via scrumdilly-do!)
