The Quotable Annika

-- “We’re all snuggin!” Playing Night Before Christmas with Mamalah (“the children were nestled, all snug in their beds ...”)

-- “And that’s the fact of the matter.” Ending an argument, or so she thinks.

-- “There’s candy canes inside!” Eating a Thin Mint Girl Scout cookie.

-- “They have head trees!” Our new neighbors’ topiaried bushes.

-- “How do you catch food with these?” Holding a pair of chopsticks, brow furrowed in concentration.

-- “Hey, you pool! Warm up so we can swim in you!” Her almost nightly after her bath, yelling at the pool from our second-floor bathroom.
