Our Date with George
March 3rd, 2009 by Ashley
We had big plans this weekend.
Curious George was making an appearance at the local Barnes and Noble, and we had to be there.
All three of the girls love him. They just call him George, because they are such intimate friends with him.
So we went to Barnes and Noble. And George was there. And they were so thrilled. And so excited to have a picture with him.
And so was someone else.
Now remember, I only have three girls. That one in the red sweater is an extra. An extra, whom we have never met before in our lives. She just really loved George too. And she really wanted to be in a picture with him. And I just couldn’t seem to tell her to get out of the way so I could have my own cute picture of my girls with George. It just didn’t really feel like the loving thing to do. And since her mother seemed to think that her being in my pictures was an awesome idea….well you get the point.
So I’m not overly excited about our date with George. It was alright. I just don’t like sharing apparently.
But I had the thought that if this little girl was actually a friend of ours, I probably wouldn’t mind at all that she was in the picture. This is where you come in: help me like this little girl. Please.
This is going to be my first official contest….there probably won’t be any prize…except my extreme gratitude, and the pride of knowing that I liked your story the best. But I want you all to tell me a story about this little girl…who is she, what’s her name, why do we want to be her friend, whatever! I’m making it your job to make her endearing to me. Help me look at these pictures without pure annoyance for the rest of my life.
I’ll post the best story a week from today…get to work.
Posted in For Fun, Little Girls
One day, a very precocious little girl named Meadow, was roaming the outdoors imagining what wonders awaited her this day. She had not investigated far, when her mommy called to her to come inside to get ready to go to town. You see, Meadows family had a herd of alpacas that had just had their first ever sheering. Little Meadow’s mother was so excited to start knitting various forms of apparel, but she needed instructions on the carding, spinning, and weaving of alpaca fleece. So off to the local Barnes and Noble they went to find the very best book available. Once they arrived at the store, Meadow spotted Curious George! She knew him from books her grandmother had read to her. She immediately ran to George, gave him a big hug, and became very excited about the other little girl’s in George’s company. Sweet little Meadow lives on acres of rolling hills, with streams and big trees, rocks and sticks, bugs and critters, all that would make any child happy. Only, there aren’t any other children around. She only spends time with her mom and dad, occasionally her grandmother, and regular visits from her mom’s free spirited friends. Little girl’s to play with and George too! She wanted to stay at Barnes and Noble all day!
The End~

Her mama obviously doesn’t carry a camera with her and has no social skills herself. Poor little thing. Maybe you could photoshop her out?
That is just so odd. I had a similar experience once, but the little girl was much easier to crop.

I love Miss I’s reactions in all of these pics…”Ok, does anyone else notice that there’s a strange child here? Where is her mother? Who ARE you?!” Haha…
Atleast you have a fun story to tell every time you look at these and I’m sure you made this little stranger girl feel like a princess by taking her picture..what’s funny is that she probably felt the same way your girls did- she KNEW him!- she was allowing you to take pictures with HER George!
