Anpanman LIVES!

Annie is so into a cartoon character called Anpanman and she sings along to his silly little song and gets so excited when he appears on TV every Sunday morning at 6am(yes,that's right,6 freaking am and I would love to see the powers to be about that time scheduling). But we never realised that the freaky little bread guy is,for Annie,a real thing.Until she started,as of a week or so ago,pointing him out to us.

Yesterday we had two Anpanman spottings and today the three.She does it so forcefully ,too.She sees men with a roundish face and wearing either a hint of yellow and /or red and,at once, the finger comes out and she narrows her eyes and says in a loud and low pitched voice "Anpanman da" .Oh gawd.The Anpanmaned men/boys so far have either laughed with us or,but in the case of one of ex-students,escaped with a red face with Annie screaming "Bye bye Anpanaman" after him in front of a host of his delighted classmates.Hope he doesn't take it too much to heart.Anapanman is ,after all,a "Super-hero".....
