April 22

Miss Anna Banana was born when I was 14 years old. My mother went into labor early one morning and I told everyone at school that I had a new baby sister that day. Imagine my disappointment when I was greeted after school by my still very pregnant mother. Of course, being a teenager, I just knew my mother had gone into false labor on purpose, just to embarrass me.

Anna finally did arrive a week or so later and I got to play pretend-mom of the cutest, most headstrong little baby until I went away to college four years later. I'm grateful that you can't stay pregnant forever and that Miss Anna joined our family 23 years ago!
Happy Birthday, baby sister!
