"Awww, she's such a cute darling!" Mrs Richards remarked.
"I agree," her husband said.
"Annie," the head matron called the kid who kept staring at her toes. Annie raised her head to face the matron.
"Won't you tell them a little bit about yourself?"
"I'm Annie."
The couple crackled again, watching their soon-to-be daughter keenly.
"Go ahead, tell them more about yourself. Like your age, what you like and what you don't like, the games you love to play, things like that."
"Excuse me," the attendant who had brought Annie in earlier interrupted. The matron smiled at her nodding that she could take her leave. The attendant left the office, shutting the door quietly behind her.
"Annie, go ahead and tell them."
"I'm Annie and I'm six years old. Um….I like sweet potatoes and chocolates and mmm...cake. I also like my toy, Darcie," Annie said showing them her stuffed toy which was a cow.
