today is my last day of work of being a nanny for three very awesome kids.
since mary lives alllllll the way away in illinois, substituting as my in-person bff for the last five months is her 6 year old niece, anna. she has been my friend, my playmate, and my counselor. why is it that little kids know so much, and often times have better advice than adults? she has taught me about life and has kept me laughing constantly. these are some of her funny, cute and clever moments:
anna: "how do you know how to drive if you're not married?"
me: "anna, is your cat a girl or a boy?"
anna: "he's a boy. cuz he has a red penis."
me: "anna did you pee??"
anna: "jenny jones, i always pee."
anna: "g-e-t. get. like, get a puppy?"
me: "yep! i get a puppy!"
anna: "whennn???"
me: "this summer when my dog has puppies."
anna: "*GASP* just kill me."
anna: "dont worry you're just on a break. a break means you break up and then one night he comes when you are sleeping and kisses you on the cheek and then you go on a date and the break is over."
anna: "i love sunsets. arent they cute?"
me: "lets go sugar!"
anna: "im not sugar."
me: "sorry. lets go, salt."
anna: "im not salt!"
me: "ummmm, pepper?"
anna: "NOOOOOO!!"
me: "okayy lets go, cutie."
anna: "yeah. i am a cutie."
anna: "do i look sexy?"
me: "umm, where did you learn that word?"
anna: "from my dad. he says it to my mom."
(watching Chuck)
me: "He's pretty cute huh?"
anna: "YES! ughh. if only i was his age... i could marry him."
me: "we're going to see my sister!"
anna: "is she brown?"
me: "...no..."
anna: "i have a cousin who is alll brown. shes sooo beautiful. like a cookie."
anna: "don't be sad. if you ever get sad, just think about me! and then you'll be happy."
