I am (obviously) at a complete loss of anything to write as of late. So, I quizzed Annie in all things 'Mom' yet again, and have included the transcript here. Enjoy.
How old is your mom?
50.
What is your mom's favorite thing to do?
Clean up with me.
What does your mom do when you're not around?
Like when I'm on a nap? Um, I don't know.
What is your mom really good at?
I can't tell you.
What is your mom not so good at?
You are not very good at vacuuming the ants. That is all you are not good at.
How tall is your mom?
Um, like when she stands up she's like this tall [as she points up above her head].
What does your mom do for her job?
Work on the computer. Email graphics to people.
What is your mom's favorite food?
Tater Tot Casserole
What do you and your mom do together?
Vacuum and clean up.
How are you and your mom the same?
I don't know, we're different. Our hair isn't the same. No, not your hair is not the same. Dora and Boots are the same.
How are you and your mom different?
With our hair blonder for me and yours straighter.
How do you know your mom loves you?
Because I have blonde hair and you have straight.
And because she gives me kisses.
What can you tell me about your Daddy?
Because he works at REALLY hard. Really, really hard.
What do you and Daddy like to do together?
Go to Arctic Circle and I don't know. And eat ice cream cones! Not anything else, just all that.
What is Ellie like?
She likes to play with me in my room. Because now it is all princess-y and we like it all princess-y. She is crawling. She is silly.
What is something mom always says to you?
Like, um, if I hit Ellie? I don't know. Then I have to go to time out. When I hit little sister, you are sad about my hitting little sister.
What makes mom happy?
When you clean up and vacuum. If I don't hit Ellie!
What makes mom sad?
If I do hit Ellie.
What does your mom do to make you laugh?
When you play with toys with me, that makes me laugh.
What was your mom like as a child?
You were three. Wait, why were you three? Why would you do that? You put all your little babies in our little brown baby house. And I used to say, "Mommy, that's enough babies in there!" Mom liked to feed her baby dolls.
What makes you proud of your mom?
If you play with me, then I is proud.
If your mom were a cartoon character, who would she be?
Cinderella. Because you are a pretty princess.
Then just a few things about Annie in her own words:
1. What is your favorite animal?: "A tiger, oh I mean not a tiger. A lion."
2. What is your favorite color?: "Blue" (Really!? Not pink? That is surprising.)
3. What is your favorite number?: "Four. Because."
4. What is your favorite song?: "Twinkle Twinkle"
5. What is your favorite movie?: "Dora and Princesses."
6. What is your favorite shirt?: "Princess one."
7. What is your favorite treat?: "I think it's candy bar."
8. Which is your favorite?: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, or Snack?: "SNACK!" (No surprise here . . . sometimes she'll cry and throw a tantrum about not wanting lunch and just wanting a snack. So we'll have brocolli and spaghetti for a 'snack'.)
9. What is your favorite snack?: "Fruit snacks!"
9. Why? "Because." 9b. Why because? "I like my favorite animal at the zoo." Um, OK.
10. What country do we live in? "Utah."
Oh, and Ellie shocked me today when she suddenly crawled 2/3rds of the way up our slide by herself (then slid back down on her belly, laughing the whole way). I had not idea she could do that. One more thing for me to keep an eye out for now.
Annie and Ellie have been adorable affectionate towards each other all weekend. Holding and hugging, rolling around together, giggling the entire time. Which is unbelievably heartwarmingly adorable and sweet. And it's been nice to watch, since otherwise they've both been complete stinkers towards every other person on the planet who is not their sister. It's nice that they're being kind to at least one person.

She sounds like a crazy person... one who hallucinates. This was my all time favorite quote.. She actually got that from me... I use to tell her how you would just shove hundreds of dolls into that brown baby house. It must have stuck with her.
So funny. I am going to ask Lauren these same questions and post it on my blog (if that is ok). That gave me a good laugh. Like a laugh out loud kind of laugh. The real kind, not the cyber kind.
