An Actual Introduction...Finally!!

When last we encountered …um….’whats-er-face’ she was refusing to tell me her name and clearly needed to sleep off the effectives of her long trip home, making her ‘introduction’ a difficult one….

 

 

 

Momma? Momma, are you here?

 

Hey sleepyhead! So you’re finally awake, are you?

 

Oh yes, and I feel much better now and….

 

 

OOoooooooo….I can see me and you, too!! WOW! Do you ever have a lot of gray hair!!

 

Yes…well…er…I earned every one of these gray hairs and I refuse to cover them up by dying them. After all, when men have gray hair people call them things like “the silver fox” and think they are sexy so….

Wait just a darn minute, here!! The point right now is that you have everything you asked for before you went to sleep and you promised to tell me your name so…

 

 

I have PINK jammies!! MY JAMMIES ARE PINK!!! I LOVE PINK!!!

 

 

…and even my bear has pink paws and ears! I LOVE PINK!!

 

*sighs, mutters* When exactly did I lose control of this conversation? What is your name???

 

 

Momma? Is my sister here yet?

 

SISTER?!? You don’t have a sister! What’s your name?

 

 

I do! I do have a sister!!

 

No you don’t! I never heard anything about a sister when I adopted you, and I should know! So what’s your name?

 

I DO have a sister, honest!! And I told her all about you and how to find us!

 

You “told her”? How on earth could you have “told” anyone anything? You’ve been sleeping since just after you got here!!

 

 

I told her! I DID! You know…in my head, I talked to her and told her!

 

In your head? O_o

 

You know, momma…I ‘thinked’ it to her!

 

Oh! I get it now! You mean you were pretending…you imagined a sister and you told her all about your new home! Imagination is a fun thing, isn’t it?

 

But momma…

 

 

We’ll come back to the issue of your name in a minute as soon as I check on dinner. I’ll be right back…

 

Momma?

 

Hang on a sec…I’ll be there shortly.

 

 

MOMMA! MOMMA!

 

Hold your horses! I said I’d be there in a minute. I’ve got to check the vegetables!

 

But momma…the lady in the big red and white truck was here and she left a box…

 

 

A box…red and white truck…OH! You mean the postal delivery van! That’s either some computer parts or the new alternator that your Da ordered for the car. I’ll be there in a minute and we can open the box and then call Da to let him know what parts came for him.

 

 

 

 

CHARLOTTE!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

GRETCHEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

Gretchen: Charlotte! You’re here!!!

 

What in the world is going on out there?? Charlotte? Is your name Charlotte? And who’s Gretchen?

 

Gretchen: It’s so good to see you! I missed you soooooo much! Did you bring…

 

 

Charlotte: LORELEI…

 

 

Gretchen: Lorelei!! Hurray!!

 

 

Lorelei: Hello Gretchen, my dear! I told you we would meet again and that I would keep Charlotte safe and deliver her back to you so that you could be together again forever!

Oh for crying out loud! I can hear you all the way out in the kitchen! Who is Lorelei … and Charlotte … and Gretchen? Which one is you? What IS your name???

*no answer*

Oh, wait! Are you playing a little imagination game? You are really good at making up different voices! What fun! Good for you! OK, I just turned the heat down on the vegetables and all I could hear is you playing your little game and babbling about….

 

OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS!!!!!!!!!!

 

Gretchen: See momma? I told you I had a sister and now she’s here!

 

 

Charlotte: Hi momma!

 

TWO of you!?!????? There are TWO of you now????? Two of you …and a talking unicorn??? I have no idea what is going on here! I have GOT to be dreaming…and this is definitely of the nightmare variety! TWO!!!??? I’m not sure I can keep up with one, let alone TWO!! I had no intention of getting TWO girls! One was more than enough! I said I was only ever going to get one…and I blamed her on my daughter! What am I supposed to do now? Who can I blame for this one??

 

 

Gretchen: I told Da all about Charlotte and Lorelei before I went to sleep and he promised me he would make sure she got home in time for your wedding anniversary…and he did it! HE DID IT!!!

 

 

Gretchen & Charlotte: HAPPY 31st WEDDING ANNIVERSARY, MOMMA!!!!!!!

 

I don’t drink…I really don’t drink…BOY do I need a drink!!! I wonder where I could go to borrow a drink? Just wait until your father gets home…Your Da is in sooooo much trouble.....

This was a most hilarious introduction indeed! Will you be able to handle these two girls? If not I think they will do just fine with their talking Unicorn to help them Congrats on your 31st Wedding Anniversay as well What a way to celebrate such a happy day

Congrats on your wedding Anniversary

 

I laughed when Charlotte Popped out of the box, in her magical cape >v< Great story, congrats on your 2 girls too

Well, I think I'm going to need all the help I can get with these two so hopefully Lorelei can give me a hand. At least I finally found out Gretchen's name thanks to my new arrival Charlotte! It would seem that Gretchen doesn't like to answer questions or has a very short attention span or something...and talk about 'random'! She can derail a conversation so fast it makes my head spin! I start out with one thing in mind and end up talking about something else entirely unrelated to where I started!

 

It has been a great 31 years together that feels more like about 31 days and this gift tops anything so far! It's even better than the reciprocating saw he gave me several years ago!! [true, I promise you and I did/do love it!] btw...I gave him a lathe and milling machine, just in case anyone was wondering...doesn't seem quite a fair exchange to me, but he's really happy with it so that's all that matters!

Ha ha! Those two are just so full of energy! They are going to run you ragged for sure.

 

Congrats on getting them both, I look forward to more adventures from them.
