When Purple-haired Annie realized that Machita Ann was coming alive, she was so anticipatory. Every day at Lollipops & Polka Dots, she would jump up on the table and ask Ms. SpoolTeacher, “When will she be able to talk?”
Ms. SpoolTeacher would say, “Purple-haired Annie, as soon as I can get her little lips embroidered on, you can ask her your questions and tell her what’s on your heart.”
“Oh, so good. Will it be soon?”
Ms. SpoolTeacher would say, “Soon, little lady, soon. I have to wait on that customer first, but I will get her real as quick as I can.”
“Okay, I’ll wait. I’m so full of joy, I can hardly stand to be so happy.”
“What will you ask her, Purple, what is so exciting that you can hardly stand the wait?”
“I so hope she will want to be my best friend”, Little Purple-haired Annie said, “And I want to hold her hand and spool around. I think it will be so nice to have a friend.”
“Oh, I’m sure she will be delighted. I can almost hear her say, ‘Yes, Missy Purple, I would love to be your new best friend’.”
The anticipation grew.
Purple-haired Annie sat down next to Machita Ann and held her hand, “It won’t be long Machita until you and I can be best friends. I hope you will, I hope you will.”
