Setting: family eating at dinner table
Julia: "I really miss my husband."
Jai & Tara: we pause & look at each other before saying "... where is he?"
Julia: "He's with Maria Sharapova ... seeing "Skyfall."
J/T: "Really ... well, it's movie, he'll be home soon."
We asked her about Maria being in Russia or Florida, she said Russia.
We wondered how she communicates with MS, by email or phone.
Julia said she really needs a computer in her room so she can email Maria.
This "conversation" was about 10 minutes after listening to Julia's dramatic interpretation of her Krug creation (ENCORE). It involved singing & dancing of course & lots of storytelling - typical Julia!
I said to Jai "my brain doesn't work that way. I'm not creative like that." Some of it is part of a 4 year's developmentally appropriate imaginative play. However, some of it is Julia. She's SO funny, quite the drama queen - sometimes in a good way! : )
We're really curious about the Maria S. part. She talks about MS often. We know why she knows her, I watch tennis, Julia watches with me, we talk about the players. She also knows Serena & Venus, but does not talk about them as much as MS. Maria is like her BFF. It's so strange yet hilarious to hear her talk about Maria Sharapova! She says SHARAPOVA!

How did I not know about JFS & MS being like BFFs? I just finished crying while laughing at this post! I cannot wait to talk with this girl in 3 weeks and hear her say, "Sharapova"!! She is quite the storyteller. :D

ReplyDeleteI didn't realize you didn't know about Julia's friendship with Maria. It's been pretty funny from the beginning, whenever she mentions doing this or that or talking with MS ... it's quite a mouthful for most people to say, but from a 3 year old, now 4 year old. I cannot wait for you to experience the vast array of storytelling that you will hear, ESPECIALLY the unrelated & tangential comments. How did we get there?! Constantly happens! : )
