I just cannot believe how much Savannah is comprehending these days. Ricardo and I can no longer talk about whatever we want to around her, because before we know it, a little baby voice joins our conversation and parrots back to us exactly what we have just been talking about. With a modicum of understanding, just enough to get things skewed.
So I was telling Ricardo yesterday that Ana had called and wanted to do a baby shower for Tara. She wanted me to call and ask Tara if she was ok with it, and so I did, and she was, but only if it was a very small ordeal. So I called Ana back and told her. And then apparently Ana didn't like the fact that Tara was only inviting like 3 people, so then Ana called Tara and told her she needed to invite more people. Tara said ok, fine, and then beefed up her list a little.
So I am relating all of this to Ricardo, who in reality probably didn't care about all of the silly girl drama, but listened anyway.
"So Ana was really pushing Tara to invite more people", I said. "She didn't think 3 or 4 people was enough for a baby shower, and so Tara is going to invite like 10 people, I think."
"Really?" said Ricardo.
And them the mini voice piped in.
"Uh...Uh....Uh....(her brain works way faster than her mouth and so she stutters a lot in her effort to keep up with it all) Ana pushed Tara? And she has to take a shower so she can be safe?"
After we wiped the tears of laughter from our eyes, during which Savannah eyed us dubiously, not having the slightest clue as to what was so funny, I hurried to set the record straight.
"No, no, no. Ana didn't PUSH Tara, baby. When somebody has a party for a new baby, like Tara's new baby, it's called a baby shower. And Ana wanted Tara to have lots of people! She DID NOT push her. "
Not sure where the safe part came in. I suppose she thought that Tara had to hide in the shower to get away from Ana who was doing all of this pushing.
This is how rumors get started, isn't it?
