Yes, It's All About Anne Lately
So Anne goes to her assistant, MA, “I need the thing for the place.”
And MA gets up, goes to a drawer, pulls out a set of keys, and hands Anne the exact key that she needs.
Did you just get chills? Me, too.
It reminds me of the time I was at Older Sister’s house, sitting on the couch watching t.v. with her husband, when she screeches from the kitchen, “Who put stuff in the here and didn’t do this?”
And immediately, her husband answers, “Oh that was me!”
I had to ask him, “Are you just saying that, or do you really know what she meant?”
His answer? “She said, Who put food in the garbage disposal and didn’t run it.”
Spooooky.
But Anne can take it one step farther. She can say to MA, “I need a thing,” while making some sort of rock-paper-scissors hand gesture, and MA will go to the supply catalog and order precisely what Anne needs.
I guess all those years of Charades are really paying off.
