Both of these snippets occurred on Friday:
1. "The clean wash is in the basket in the sunroom?! Mo-om! I do not want to walk out there naked to get my underwear. The old people* will be able to see me! Oh, well, I guess they are too busy trying to stay alive to care about one naked girl next door."
(* Our sunroom faces the back of a nursing home, and during the winter, when the forest is bare, I am sure we would quite visible to our elderly neighbors...if they could still see that far and weren(apostrophe)t so darned busy trying to stay alive...when we are in there--naked or otherwise.)
2. "When we had show-and-tell at school, the other kids brought in stuff like Burger King toys. Seriously? They must not get to do anything! I brought in Yankee(apostrophe)s bridle! I guess I am lucky..."
(Thank God for show-and-tell putting things into perspective or she might never have noticed that she is living a charmed life...
P.S. Yankee is her snow-white, fairy-tale pony---one of the herd of four ponies at her disposal.)
