Silly Makayla

My cousin Makayla is one of my best friends. We do all sorts of things together. And, she's five. What better age to be? The other day, she was over and we decided to look through all of my pictures on Facebook. It was hilarious. Here are some of her responses, with the pictures in no particular order.

She simply could not understand why we all "wanted the apple." 

"Ooh, this picture looks yummy!" When I explained to her that it was cooking spray, she just pointed to the picture ON the cookie spray, saying she wanted to eat that. 

This picture she found fascinating, since she just started learning to do Irish dance. She also found it hilarious that Megan had her eyes closed. She told me, "I think it's too bright for her." I told her I thought Megan was probably just blinking. And so, in every picture of my class that followed this, she had to find the "blinking girl" (Megan), the "biggest"--or tallest--girl (Camille), and the "smallest" girl (Kathleen). 

"Hey! WHAT is his mouth doing?" 

She finds laughing pictures especially funny. She wanted to know if Ben was laughing also, because she "couldn't see his eyes," so she "couldn't tell." 

She laughed really hard, and said, "You can't find each other." That made me laugh too, then I explained to her that we were lost in the picture and that's why we were doing that pose. She asked where it was that we were at and how many times we'd been there. When I told her it was Ben's yard, she was so incredulous. "You got lost at his house??" When I told her we were just pretending to be lost, she asked me, "You LIED?  You're not lost?" It was so funny. 

She had to show "Aunt Deanne" how "Charly was being the cow." Even though she was there, evidenced by that fact that she's in the picture. She's such a funny little girl. 

She thought it was hilarious that I had "paint all over my face." Then she was very concerned about how I got it to come off. 

"Hey! You have pizza!" 

Makayla really enjoys looking through my pictures with me, and her favorite thing when we do so is to "find Charly," or other people she knows in the picture (and especially herself). This one threw her for a loop though. She couldn't figure out which one was me.

She laughed when she saw this one, because we were "sleeping." When I told her we were just pretending, she laughed and pointed to the pillow behind Ben's head, saying he had "fluffy hair." She laughed and laughed at that. 

"What in the world?? How is he doing that?" to Ben being upside down. She went through and pointed to the other three of us, saying in turn, "I can do that," and then pointed at Ben again, saying she couldn't. Less than five minutes later, though, she was insisting she could and wanted to show me. 

She wanted to know how we were upside down, until she figured out that it was the camera that was upside down and not us. 

This picture is probably the one she laughed the hardest at, just because of Barbara's face. She thought it was absolutely the funniest thing she had ever seen, I think. 

She liked this picture because she was in it. Then she went through the faces that each of us was making in it and made those faces. It was very cute.

She was in such a silly mood, but we laughed really hard at times. I sure love that little girl.
