The trying to be serious is where I struggle. I am a sucker for the pitiful looks they give when they want their way. I have come up with a dialogue for Anna when she gives me the pitiful stare, which I say to my husband because I am odd.
What Anna looks like she's thinking, "I am so sad and lonely and really want your love."
What Anna is really thinking, "I am the boss of all you people and if I don't get my way, I'll bite your ankles."
