A funny girl

今天早上，我做了蓝起司（blue cheese) 烤面包，安娜显然觉得味道不好闻，她看着我盘子里的烤面包，很认真地说：“妈妈，你怎么这么恶心啊！”。

安娜是个很爱干净的孩子，每天早上起床后都把自己的小床叠得整整齐齐。有时我们帮她弄，如果不合她的标准，她还要重叠。

I cooked some blue cheese toasts this morning and they didn't seem to smell right for Anna. She looked at the toast on my plate and said very seriously "mommy, it looks very disgusting."

Anna is a very tidy girl. She always makes her bed very neatly every morning. If someone does it for her and if it is not done her way, she will redo it.
