Wendy

Someday I would love to meet Wendy. Apparently she is one amazing person. She is smarter than me. She even knows how to drive. She is the oldest kid. The list goes on and on. I decided to ask Rachel about Wendy so I could make sure and portray her accurately. Everything in italics is a direct quote from Rachel.

Her (Wendy) mom and dad died by the war, just like Aubrey's old grandpa that died by the war and now all she has is his ring. Wendy knows how to get bugs out of your eyes. I think this came up because just before this conversation we discussed how Aunt Kristin knows all about ears and can even get bugs out of your ear – Rachel asked if Kristin could get bugs out of your eyes if one crawled in there. I said I didn't think so – Kristin just does ears, noses and throats not eyes, plus I don't think bugs crawl into eyes all that often. Well I guess Wendy has one on Kristin because she can get them out of your eyes. Back to Wendy . She also has a dog and cat. She knows things that Anna knows . When her mom just barely had a baby she died so Wendy has to take care of her because she knows how to drive and stuff. She knows how to tie good and work ipods when they are off and they aren't turning on. She knows how to sing really good, she knows how to tape really good. She knows how to take care of a baby good. And she is a doctor too. Her mom was a Dr but now she is not because now she is dead by the war. She knows how to wash good. And her baby wouldn't cry. Wendy is with white hair and she has a pool in her house, like in her bathroom. She has 2 bathrooms, no 3 bathrooms, no lots of bathrooms, 4, because she has one downstairs. The downstairs one has the pool. She has a blue swimming suit, Anna's favorite color is her swimming suit. She has lots of boots. Also Wendy can even do the splits – I am not kidding, I am not lying, I am not crossies. She can – even she can do the gymnastics. She is really smart. She has a roof on her ground and she can walk on it without falling.

She has a blue ipod and she has her own laptop and her own computer. She looks like the same as the Wendy that we get a frosty at. She has a cute necklace. She has a snuggle butt. I asked what a snuggle but was. Rachel covered her mouth while snickering and said a snuggle butt is a cute butt.

Wendy is Rachel's imaginary friend. She has been for a LONG time. I keep waiting for Wendy to be forgotten, but she is not. She is as real as anything to Rachel. She is always talking about Wendy and telling me how much better Wendy is than I am. Apparently driving is really important because the fact that Wendy is not a mom, but an old kid who knows how to drive, is very important to Rachel. When asked the best thing about Wendy, Rachel will tell you “Wendy can even drive”. Also the fact that she has a dog and a cat strikes right up their with her driving talents. I then asked Rachel who she liked better. Here is what she said.

Who do you like better Mommy or Wendy:

Who do you like better Tess or Wendy:

Wendy – (pause) actually Tess and Tess's baby

Once again Tess triumphs as Rachel's favorite person, I thought for a minute Wendy would win out but Tess pulled it off. I wonder if it has something to do with the baby. She is not even here yet and she still beats me but whats even more amazing is that she beats Wendy, and that Wendy is one amazing girl.
