Leo
Annika has an imaginary friend named Leo. She doesn’t seem to like him much though, but always knows where he is and what he’s been up to. He is usually at the doctor or in the hospital. We ask her for an update quite often. Here are some Leo-related conversations…
Me: Where’s Leo?
A: In the hospital. He got hurt.
Me: How did he get hurt?
A: I hit him.
I told Annika that Cousin Kathy is coming to visit. “She has a Leo too!”
Annika was whimpering. I said, What’s the matter? “Leo hit me with a baseball bat.”
Hey Annika, where’s Leo?
He’s at the doctor.
Why?
He hurt his knee?
How did he hurt his knee?
He fell down on the grass.
What’s Leo up to these days?
He had two appendixes, so he had to have those taken out.
Does Leo like to watch any shows?
No, he doesn’t. And, he doesn’t have a mom.
Annika Thinking
What do clouds eat?
Where does the sun go at night?
Where do the moon and stars go during the day?
When you push me high I feel like a bird.
What are we made out of?
5th Grade Recess
“Joseph, so what did you do at recess today?”
“Walked around burping at girls and breaking some sticks.”
Deep (Dish) Sleep
“I fell asleep with that piece of pizza last night.”
“Where did you find it?”
“It was stuck to my shirt.”
“Eww.”
“No, it was good. I just ate it.”
Speaking of Ice Cream
Annika: “Speaking of ice cream–where’s dad?”
Hey Google
Annika (age 2) is in the kitchen by herself. I hear: “Hey Google, play NPR.”

Sick Day
“Mom, I’m still sick.” (Fake coughs.) “So you get out one blanket, make me some toast and put on Ponies on TV. I’ll be right back.” (Coughs.) “I’m still sick.”
Still Rated G
Maddie got mad at me. “You dumb buddy mommy jerk!”
Joseph looks at me and says, “It’s hard when you don’t know any bad words.”
cOLD Ladies
J: We didn’t go out for recess today because Mrs G decided it was “too cold.” She’s just an old lady, so she’s always cold.
And one day Mrs White said we couldn’t go out because it was “too humid” and her “hair would get frizzy.” Who cares if your hair is frizzy anyway? So we had indoor recess because of Mrs White’s hair.
Happy Annika
Noah: Happy Christmas! Happy Hanukkah!
Annika: Happy Daddy!
