*Easter Weekend* and I had my old friend Stella Maria to see. She's six. This means that she's still a bit rang-y, as in orangutang-y, so I'll still get hit with a stick at some point, no matter how much chocolate and freezies I deliver. On the upside, our conversations do seem to happen more by design than just falling down the occasional rabbit hole.
Indeed, she *did* tell me many fine things this weekend. When I phoned ahead, I listened to her repeat my promise that I'd be arriving around 1:30. She must have said it five times. Then she told her mom that I'd be there at 5:30 sharp. She told me that she'd read over 229 000 books, and that she had a personal inventory of 89 books about animals. She informed me that Elmo was for babies, and that she had no desire to do the hokey-pokey. She announced that she and Ray-Ray were getting married. Ray-Ray is a cat. She told me that there are many kinds of aliens, but that nearly all of them try to pass themselves off as humans first. This is why you have to rip their heads off. She told me that Ken is not (not!) a homosexual, despite the fact that he dresses like an unemployed stripper. Then she hit me with a stick.
girls are so smart. you can clearly tell by their brilliant beginnings!

ReplyDeleteThat Stella Maria sounds like one switched-on chick
ReplyDeleteFabulous
my, what an eventful and informative easter you had!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you are recovering form stick beatings and the possibility that the last human you passed may just be an alien ;)

ReplyDeleteso funny!
wow! she is so smart and so right on about so many things. i am glad she kept you in line with that stick too! i was sick over easter weekend so my chair was empty for easter dinner. my 4 year old nephew little mo kept pointing at it and saying, "mama mo now!". finally he got up and said, "i am going to plant her a garden of corn dogs and marshmallows-this will help her". he is so right.
ReplyDeleteand,i use a yard stick, but not on those kids-only on freakishly tall grown up boy aliens.
love that stella.
ReplyDeleteSheri: what you do on the weekends is up to you.
ReplyDeleteRow: would you just hurry up and get better already? Sheesh.
