None of the Bananalets are married. Or even courting. Nevertheless, Miss Dance has far-reaching plans, especially for Miss Language. She has had these plans for several years now and they continue to get more detailed.
According to Miss Dance, Miss Language (once she is Mrs Whatever) and her DH will have 66 children. Mostly singles, but some twins and one set of triplets. They will go like this: oldest - female named Genesis; boy named Exodus; boy named Leviticus (will she call him 'Levi' for short?); and so on, up to, as I mentioned, the triplet Johns (not to be confused with the older John); Jude; and of course, the youngest, Little Revelation. Miss Dance is sure he is the cutest. He is blond, chubby, blue-eyed, a bit clumsy, tries his hardest, but gets scolded the most for some reason. He seems to stay an eternal toddler in Miss Dance's eyes.
At the moment, Mr Music is reading aloud from a very old grade-school reader where the boy is mischievous. He pauses, mid-story, to say, "This sounds just like something Revelation would do." And Miss Dance and Miss Dog Lover laugh and agree.
I can hardly wait to meet my grandchildren. It seems I know them already.
I'm glad to hear of the plans for Miss Language & her future. My concern is about the scandalous and unfounded rumours of various affairs. First those of the Apocrypha. You know, the Esdras twins, Tobit, Judith, Esther II, Solomon, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch, Children/Susanna/Bel & the Dragon, Manasses, and Maccabees. And second, those with that Smith fellow. You know the first Nephi twins, Jacob, Enos, Jarom, Omni, Ward (sp?) Mormon, Mosiah, Alma, Helaman, the second Nephi twins, Mormon, Ether, and Moroni.
I'll try to make it to the baptisms of the real kids and remember them on their birthdays. I will emphatically refuse to believe that Tobit was named after TobyBo. I also am not sure that I'll ever understand how someone has two twins, then 8 more kids, then has two more twins and tries to claim that the two pairs are actually one set of quadruplets.
But I guess when people start making things up, it's hard to know when to stop.
