Dear Mom and Dad,
Today was my first day back at Goldfish Swim School, where me and my Goldfish Mini Partner got to visit with all my friends in class. I was so good today, I even went under water for the first time, and I DIDN’T CRY! I actually did it twice…. THIS MOM AND DAD IS WHERE THE ‘NANA IS SILLY’ PART COMES IN. Do you have ANY idea, how many times, I have played with Mr. Nikon, aka ‘the beast’. Nana is taking at least 1000 photos of me a month… conservatively speaking… and the beast and I are BEST BUDS, but today, on my big swim and dunk day, the beast was no where in site…. SILLY NANA, where praytell IS YOUR HEAD? So … yes, I know we were ill prepared today, since you had to help with something for Poppy… but really Nana, to forget the beast at home… someone needs to put Nana in time out. Not only did she forget the beast… she needed special training to try and take a photo with her phone…
Nana started ‘borrowing’ Uncle Nicks phone when he was out of the country for a year. It was a nice fancy little iPhone… and she loved being able to get text messages and emails on it with her kids being so far away. She was hooked, even though she could not operate the voicemail option since Uncle Nick had the password, and she didn’t, but she kept using it, and when he returned, a newer version was released, and she kept the old, sometimes ‘not workin’ so hot phone. Something is wrong with it, and it needs repair, but she keeps using it anyway. It has functionality she doesn’t begin to understand, or be able to use, but today was a highlight. While at Goldfish Mini swim class, she needed to try and take a photo… since the beast had been left behind (eh hem… eh hem….) She kept iTouching the camera, and it kept trying to focus in on me in my moment of glory… she gently pushed the button to take the photo, ….. snap, snap, she thought she was so paparazzi cool… with her compact little technologically crafty little iPhone….. only to wonder why she kept getting kicked out of the camera repeatedly, just to get it to turn back on after each photo….at first she thought the little phone was just acting up again, then it occured to ‘silly Nana’, why is this not working… she used it before, and after snappin off a shot, it refocused for her to take another… at that moment she realized she had a ‘moment’. A NANA MOMENT…. she wasn’t snappin up photos of me… she was hitting the OFF BUTTON, and not taking a single solitary photo of my underwater submersion… just turning it on, and then back off… over and over…
I love Nana, but if she weren’t so sad she missed the photo op for you and daddy, she too would be making fun of herself. Once she figured it out, there was about a minute left of class, and here is the one photo you get…
Okay so National Geographic or any other photo mag, will be calling to publish this one! Great lighting huh? Not only was she inept with the iPhone camera, did she not notice I am facing the other way? Being the sweet little charmer that I am, I felt bad for Nana, so after swim class, even though tired, I posed for a few shots with the beast, in my shiny TOTALLY AWESOME red convertible, which I JUST LOVE. So here I am cheesin’ it up for the beast and Nana, and bailing her out YET AGAIN, with some awesome photos.
Hey do I have to use hand signals when driving this thing?
I have so many to show you…. cause … well let’s just say it, I am adorable… and this sports car thing, makes me EVEN MORE ADORABLE….
Just me, and my car!
Wind blowin’ in my hair… hey, wait a minute…
Just a second here, hold the phone… is someone makin’ hair jokes…? Let’s hope not… cause it is a growin’ and I am looking mighty sweet with my little locks!
Until tomorrow, mom and dad, I hope despite Nana’s no brainer episode, I am as always your little SAVING THE DAY, Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,
Guillianna!
Nana
