My Stipulations Before Becoming a Permanent Resident September 24, 2009

Posted by Emily in : Daily Life, New York, Princess Hannah , trackback

Hannah has visited/lived in a lot of places. I’m not even sure how this next sentence is possible (since we are actually medical students not to be confused with trust fund kids), but she has been to five countries and 19 states in the three short years she’s been alive.

I know. The math doesn’t add up on that one.

Of all the places she’s been, she’s decided New York is her favorite. It could be that the candy store is two doors down from us. It could also be the bookstore, pizza place, park, and marina which are all basically two doors down from us. It might also be the weekly trips to the laundromat which she thoroughly enjoys. Whatever the reason, Hannah has decided that she LOVES living in New York and wants to stay here “forever and ever and ever.”

Her words exactly.

I would like to stay in New York forever and ever and ever too, just as soon as they figure out how to moderate the winters, control the humidity in the summer, and exterminate the bugs flying around the wetlands along the trail to the Aqueduct.

I like walking this trail with the kids and I’m going to miss it. In fact, I’m going to miss a lot of things about this place, including the candy store two door down from us.
