Annabel has many good one liners. Statistics are on her side. It's hard not to have some when you never stop talking. This weekend, Aunt Tammy and I took the kids down to Charleston. My favorite comment of hers on the way down. "Daddy had two ticks on him. I'm afraid of nature." Me, too, kid.
Aunt Ginny was in a car accident last year. She had a significant head injury. We explained to the kids very carefully that it was a serious situation. Aunt Ginny had to have a piece of her skull removed for nearly six weeks to allow the swelling to go down. Annabel stared. "So, Aunt Ginny has a hole in her head?" Yes. "Can I see it?" Maybe.
Well, Aunt Ginny got her skull fixed before we had a chance to all go down as a family. When we told Annabel, she began to sob uncontrollably. I kept explaining this was good, it meant Aunt Ginny was better! *sob* *sniffle* "But I love to see new and interesting things!! I wanted to see the hole in her head!"
Aunt Ginny is now fully recovered. We had lunch with her while we were in Charleston. As we all loaded back into the car, Aunt Ginny climbed into the back with Annabel. She was, of course, chattering away. "... and you have to wear a seat belt, or you'll get a hole in your head! Aunt Ginny, you lead a dangerous life."
