The Quotable Annika

On childrearing and other concerns:

“I have to find somebody good to marry with.”  

“Well, sure, when you’re a grownup --”

“I know! But I’m telling you, I have to make good decisions. It will have to be somebody who’s nice ...”

“Somebody kind, yeah --” 

“And who knows how to deal with kids.”

“Uh huh, that’s --”

“Yell at them.” 

[me laughing for about five solid minutes]

Twirling around in a homemade superhero eyemask:

“Why’s that, hon? So nobody can see your eyes? They don’t know your secret identity?”

“No! So they can’t see that I have eyebrows!”
