Anne's Perspective

Anne is still at an age where her brain is trying to understand all that is around her and therefore she says some really cute things. Here are some of her latest...

June 2008
Anne: Momma, why do police cars have those bars in them?
Me: They have those bars in there to protect the policemen from the bad guys when they have to take them to the jail.
Anne: (After a few minutes.) But we don't have any bad guys in this city, right?
Me: Well Anne, unfortunately we do have bad guys in this city and that is why we have the policemen to help us and to protect us.
Anne: (Without a moments pause) We have ninjas in this city?


July 2008
One afternoon the power went out in our house and once Anne realized what had happened she ran up to me and exclaimed, "Oh no, momma, our house ran out of batteries!

While leaving our neighborhood a car pulled out in front of us that looked just like Matt's.
Anne: Is that daddy?
Me: No, daddy is at work, but that car sure looks like daddy's.
Anne: Is it daddy's car?
Me: No, but they do look the exact same.
Anne: Oh yeah, it's not daddy's because daddy's has black handles and that one doesn't.
Me: Oh my goodness, Anne, you are so smart.
Anne: Why?
Me: Because I never noticed the handles on daddy's car before and you noticed all the little details.
Anne: (after a few moments) Did Jesus make me smart?
Me: Heavenly Father made you smart. He made all of the things that are wonderful about you.
Anne: But He didn't make you smart like me, right?

Love it!

BTW, we did have tons of koolaid growing up. I thought all families drank it like that. My dad told me later he always wanted it at dinner because Tutu wouldn't let him drink "the red stain" at all (or at least not very often) growing up. Classic example of the deprivation model from my family science class.

How cute!!! Anne is at the best age ever. She is the splitting image of you and seems to have the same spunk too.
