Place: Boerne Christian Assembly, Sunday Feb 22, 2008 

Persons invloved: Mama, Mrs. Strackbine & daughters (and at the last minute  yours, truly)

Context: Talking about our lives.

Details: I was not really part of this whole deal until the last few minutes, as I was busy doing my usual Sunday exercise of chasing boys... (it  never ends!!!!!) I had noticed Mama talking to a lady and her daughters, but didn't want to join in the conversation because running around was more fun at the moment. Finally, most everybody went home, and I didn't have anyone to chase, and was no longer being chased myself. So I made my way over to where Mama was talking,  walking carefully as my feet are still getting used to Texas rocks.

Mama & Mrs. S were in the middle of an animated conversation, so I kinda stood off to the side and listened... Until I noticed the subject of the conversation behind Mama. Papa and the Deamers were talking to John Sauve' about the rodeo we attended Saturday night.  That sounded WAY more interesting, so I moved over that aways... Lol!!! John was in the middle of saying how he didn't know how bronc riders were scored for their ride... Heheheh... Well...

I did!!!!! >:)

So I started to generously enlighten everyone... The funny thing was that I was standing behind John, and he being 6'-something it looked really funny because nobody knew I was there until I started talking... I think I scared John, because he didn't know I was there. Anyways, I soberly gave them the info on how to score bronc rides and then shut up.

Meanwhile, Mama is still talking to  Mrs. S about her daughters names and ages and then introduces us, and tells how old we are... (man, why do I always have to tell ppl how old I am???)

This process is sometimes quite entertaining, as in this case, Mrs. S & her daughters had seen me running around with the little ones, and I'm sure she wasn't expecting me to be as old as I am... Anyways, Mrs S was asking what we girls do all day, (being home schooled we get that a lot "So... what DO you do all day???")  and usually there is a little pause,because we're trying to figure out how not to scare ppl, by telling them what we usually do... All our assorted home businesses have a startling effect on ppl. Anyways, during the pause, I was overcome by the desire to show off my witty brain, so I came up with the greatest line to explain what we girls do during the day. Here's what I said: "what do we do all day? Why, we sit around watching soap operas on TV and eating bon-bons!!!!!! It is quite thrilling!"

Anyways... so everyone pretty much fell apart upon hearing that line... I was so serious too, I guess that helped! Anyways, the bad part of this was that I never did tell Mrs S. what we REALLY do all day... So that is very bad!!!!!! And there goes Annick Marshall's sterling reputation!!!! been nice knowing you! Have a good life!

Be blessed, my fellow Americans! God reins!!!
