“Bee”Ranna and “See”Vanna

We have a 13 year old neighbor girl who lives next door to us, Savannah. Brianna and she have a funny little friendship. Since she's out of school for the summer Savannah comes over pretty much every day asking if she can take Bree down to the apartment play area. It’s a good deal because they have a blast and I get some time to myself to get things done. Since we’ve been hit by this heat wave though, Savannah’s had a hard time getting Bree to want to go outside. Savannah will come over and ask Brianna if she wants to go play, Bree will say yes, and they’ll head out the door for the play area. But, the past week or so they’ll be back within 10-15 minutes because, according to Savannah, they’ll walk all the way down to the door that leads out to the play area then Bree will stop, look outside and say “Too hot. Go home!” So, they’re back right away. When this happens though Savannah usually sticks around and plays awhile with Brianna in her room. I always hear insane giggling coming from her room whenever they play.

Brianna is funny though. Since their names are so similar sounding in those last syllables Bree has insisted on calling Savannah “Bee-ranna.” Finally, the other day I said, “Bree her name is sss,sss, SUH-Vannah.” Of course, then Brianna said “Sss, Bee-Ranah.” Savannah laughed at that and I tried again. “No, it’s SUH-Vannah, see?” So, finally Bree came up with “See-vanna.” Close enough we decided. So, now whenever Savannah tries to leave our apartment and go back to her place Bree is crying, (she loves her so), and calling “See-Vanna, See-Vanna!”
