In Annie's Words Part Deux

I've done this before with Annie, asking her questions about her Mommy . . . and I thought I'd try it again and see how things changed.

I don't know hold old are you.

How tall is your mom?
[Silently points at the top of my head for several seconds, then finally answers] That tall. When I stand up I just a little tall.

Play a game. Do something else. Do you like to play games with me?

What does your mom do when you're not around?
Go to the store. Go to bed.

If your mom becomes famous, what will it be for?
I don't know. Famous means "Where is your Mommy?!" (Wow, that's profound. And I'm sure somewhere Jayden & Sean Preston Federline are all, "Word, Annie!")

Cleaning up. No, not cleaning up. Getting clothes for you. And cleaning up.

What is your mom not so good at?

What does your mom do to make you laugh?
If I laugh it will make you laugh.

What was your mom like as a child?
Liked to play a game and all your sisters play a game with you. You say, "Bang it! Beer it up!" That when your other sister grow up, then they will play an Annie game! "Bang it or Beer it up!" "Bang it!! Beer it up!!!"

What makes you proud of your mom?

If your mom were a cartoon character, who would she be?
Do you like Oscar? Um, Dora, Elmo, Sponge Bob, Barney. Maybe Dora, and I like Dora. Dora, or Diego. Diego I like more.

Annie kinda just kept talking once we were through the questions. Here's the transcript of her ramblings:
When we go to California, we should go to Dizzleyland. And when we go to California, we should have a baby boy! If we have a baby boy, I will be happy, if we have a baby boy, I will be really happy. When we go to California, why not see all the bad guys? (Disney villians.) When we have a baby boy in California, he will be scared of the bad guys.

[Trying on baby clothes on her baby doll.] It fits you! It almost fit you Tamberly! It's almost big for you, but you can wear it when you get big! Let me try a shirt on. We need a pair of scissors. Does this bug you or no? Tamberly is almost big. When people get bigger, they can wear little people clothes. Mommy, try pants on with her shirts. Oh look at her shirt Mommy, she's almost dressed. We should have a baby boy. Elmo is four. We are almost having a baby boy. Mommy, I want you to put on Tamberly's pants on. Because I am holding Tamberly, but if I sit her down, then it will be easier. But if you do it, it will be more easier. And snap her shirt, 'cause it is a onesie. Now put on the pants. We have lots of baby boy shirts. Yeah, for the next boy. Yay, I did it! Do they go together, or not? Say, "Look at my baby!" Fly baby, fly! I carry you so fly! Fly baby! Which room can I fly in, Mommy's room, Annie's room, or Ellie's room? Fly! Super baby! You are heavy! Catch her Mommy! Catch her!! Now fly her back to me! Now I'll fly her back to you! Tamberly wants her Mommy. No! I don't like that Tamberly! Tamberly trying to get you Mommy. Let's put "Little People" video on Mom . . . maybe I put it on last night. It is on the computer. You hold her Mommy, I want to watch "Little People." With Tamberly. (She doesn't need feedback during any of this, it's pretty much a one-sided conversation!)

(This kid is going to be sorely disappointed when we come home from California with no little brother in tow.)
