Anne has a girl. We might have referred to her previously but I know we've never really explained who she is. She has had her for about a year. Sadly, her girl has no name but she leads a very exciting life. Whenever we are talking about something that Anne might want to do in the future or anything scary or exciting Anne launches into a story about when her girl did that. Her girl can be 3 or 33, she participates in activities for girls of all ages. Everything Anne has done, will do, can't do, might do... her girl has done. Anne isn't the least bit shy about her girl either; it doesn't matter who we're talking with, if she thinks of her girl she'll start talking about her.
When we ask Anne what her girl's name is she usually says she doesn't remember. She sometimes will try to call her to ask but whenever she's doing that her girl isn't available. Once she even tried calling her girl's grandma but she didn't remember her name either.
Anne celebrated her girl's birthday yesterday and then again today. Yesterday she just sang her "Happy Birthday" over and over again, "Happy birthday dear My Girl..." today she has been singing to her and she is making her a water cake. I asked her a little while ago how her girl was liking her birthday party and she said her girl isn't here yet so it's not time for the party. I guess this is all just excited preparation. We frequently wait for her girl to join us but Anne always gives an explanation as to what is holding her up (school, work, wedding, etc.).
