Ana talked so much while we were looking at houses that the real estate agent started calling her "chatterbox." She said things like:
"Why are garages so dirty? Doesn't anyone ever clean them? (All the garages here are detached--so they're going to be pretty dirty)"
This house has a basement? Wow!!! What's a basement?
This house looks like it will have lots of spiders. Let's go look.
(to the agent) I'm adopted. My parents found me at a hospital.
Look at this closet. Shut me in (so I can see how dark it is).
I like pickles, but China doesn't like cheese.
These stairs go to an attic
me: No, it goes to the upstairs.
Wow! What's an upstairs?
I can see that boy's underpants. Why are his pants so low?
(agent--who by this point was answering lots of questions) It's a cultural thing.
blank stare
I kept saying, "I'm so sorry. She hasn't lived in America before."
Remind me next time to NOT take my kids house hunting--esp. when you're trying to cram as much possible into two days. By the way, we did put in an offer! Will let you know what happens
