Manners

Anna has really good manners. She just does not always choose to use them. The other day at the dinner table, she said something really demanding to Dave, and I said, "Did you forget your manners, Anna?" And she said, "I lost my manners, Mama!" Then she felt around, and finally said, "Oh! Here they are! They are in my underwear!" And then she started her gleeful cackling that makes it darn near impossible to be even the slightest bit mad! I have to say, it was really refreshing for her to make a joke that did not involve the word "poo-poo head."
