Klatching with Hannah

Me, my neck and Hannah
I went for coffee with Hannah and my mom -- Hannah's great (and I do mean GRREEAT) grandmother yesterday.

While at the coffee shop, Hannah latched onto my neck-skin aka waddle, marveling at the loose folds and chin hairs which she's prone to doing occasionally. Then she said, "Who makes our bodies?" I didn't have an answer or I'd know who to blame.

Earlier in the day when we were driving to the coffee shop, she asked "Is anyone invisible?" I told her no one is invisible though now I'm thinking I wouldn't mind if my waddle would disappear.

After Hannah child-handles my neck at the coffee shop and ponders the miracle of the human body, I sit, flushed in reds, burgundies and purples from the twisting of skin by a five year old artist, my neck resembling a Georgia O'Keefe painting.

Gotta love Hannah! Sounds like you better get to studying up so you can answer her questions.

When I was a child, I remember being fascinated by some older lady's soft, wrinkly arm...it's funny how that skin is so appealing to kids, although I can understand it now, being one with wrinkles (hey, that should be my Native American name) - it's actually interesting to me, when I disassociate that wrinkly mess from actually belonging to ME.

You must surely love that Hannah bunches and bunches. I wonder if Georgia O'Keefe's neck ever looked like the her painting?

Happy New Year. Cheers~

Seriously, a decent cosmetic surgeon can easily fix your neck when Hannah tires of playing with it.

I agree with Helen - you'd better start studying to keep up with Hannah's questions!

Who makes our bodies? We do! We make our own bodies.

That Hannah is something else! Cute as a bug's ear but quite feisty. You must be the most patient person on the face of the earth.
