On Sunday, I went with my parents and second cousin to my friend Nora's house for dinner. This is her account of what happened:
Baby Anja was cute. I can't believe just the last time we had dinner at your (Emily and Sohee's) house, she was walking on her knees. This time, she wanted to go outside all the time, and she went running up and down the alley laughing her head off. I guess she likes to be out all the time. After she ate, she brought us all our shoes - well, she only brought me one shoe. She brought Gabe the wrong shoes, she brought him Chieni's shoes, and when he told her that, she started crying. Don't disrupt my view of the universe with your damn logic! Then she brought the car keys. (I don't know why. But when I took her out in front later, she brought the keys, went up to their car, and tried opening it up.) She was following my cats, who wisely ran away any time she came near, and she wanted to go up to all the house doors. I guess she does not realize that going up to my door is "special" because her parents actually know me. So since there were less people around than usually when we see her, she actually did more talking than we usually hear. She said 'baby' for all the stuffed animals I gave her, 'bebe' for berries, and 'mau'for cat every time she saw my cats. She said 'pick me up' but that was in Chinese, so I can't verify that she said it correctly. Oh, and she sang 'row row row your boat" (but only the 'row row' part. So her version goes 'row row row row row row') Oh, and she told me 'buh-bye' when she left just like a stewardess.
