Washing Dishes, Girl Holds Forth

The girl's new favorite phrase: "In the grand scheme of things..." She has no idea, of course, what it means. She was so busy playing with suds and talking to herself as we washed dishes the other day she forgot I was there. I eavesdropped shamelessly. Here's how it all breaks down, according to Anna.
 
“In the grand scheme of things it’s not you or us, it’s milk and water and a pan, and the grand scheme of things will come and we’ll think about everything.

In the grand scheme of things it’s water who fills up and drinks.

The grand scheme of things is hot and not cold.

The grand scheme of things is all the brushers and the bowls. The sponges are not beware-ing of water.

The grand scheme of things are bowls of water that we fill up with guitars."

  1. She's clearly a poet and a philosopher. No surprise there.
