My cousin has a cute daughter named Anna. She's 9, and as sweet as can be. But the reason why I'm blogging about her is because she says some really cute things.
Anna and her family came to see me give my homecoming talk. At the lunch afterwards, she was trying to make conversation with me and my friend Talia. "So, are you in high school, or college, or what?" Talia and I giggled and said, "we are done with college." Anna then incredulously said, "and you live at home?!? You need to move out!"
Talia and I just lost it laughing. Later, Anna comes up to my room to see what a 24-yr-old living at home after her mission looks like. Just because her observation was just so darned cute, I asked her, "Ok Anna, tell me some good reasons why I should move out."
She thinks about it. "Well, you could get a cat!"
Very good, Anna. That's how you get me any time. But just because I was still curious what was going on in that brain of hers, I asked, "Ok, that's a good one. Why else?'
She thought for a minute. "Well, then you wouldn't have to do chores?"
And Mom yells up the stairs for me at that moment. Perfect timing. I think Anna's on to something.
3 weeks later, we are at my Grandma's funeral. Anna has just been my little buddy. She has 3 brothers, so I think she likes hanging out with girls. Once again, she's being a good conversationalist and asks, "How old are you?"
"I'm 24."
Not missing a beat, she blurts, "AND YOU'RE NOT MARRIED YET?"
After I finally stop laughing, I tell her, "I just haven't found the right one yet."
This girl. She's going places.
