Crime Scene Investigation

These days Little Anya is usually in a very 'investigative' mood. Needless to say, anything previously seen or unseen is open for further probe. She revels in particular in the bags full of grocery shopping. The stuff that her parents buy is usually 'tasted OK' by Little Anya before they are allowed to use it.

However, the real zeal for investigation is seen when her overworked and underpaid dad gathers the garbage before discarding it in the right containers outside. All the paper bags are duely opened by Little Anya and order is systematically replaced by disorder.


Researchers are quite amazed to see that Little Anya does not spare even her dad's smelly and totally unhygienic boots. If she could stop at that, one could still be thankful, but she goes even further and explores the socks inside the shoes and makes it obvious to the people nearby how much her father has been saving on washing powder expenditure. It is a well known fact that 'children say the darnest things' but to be exposed by Little Anya in such a cruel way takes quite something to come to terms with !

As mentioned in our earlier postings, the TV has a cabinet with a lock and key. Little Anya is already aware of the concept of the key and a lock. She has been seen trying to open the TV cabinet with the help of the apartment spare key. Now, the idea is not to call anyone names, but her dad can't help but be reminded of the Biblical saying 'Never put your sword down, for the powers of evil never rest' !

Finally. one of the exploits of our little Sherlock Holmes. I have never heard of Holmes leaving his mark behind while investigating, but Little Anya makes no bones of the fact that she has teeth. In the photo released to the press by the department of justice above, one can see that a packet of cooking butter silently bears witness to the mandibles of death. In the photo above, four upper and for lower teeth have found their way deep into the cooking butter ! The rhetoric her father is heard making these days is 'Make no mistake, nothing is safe while Little Anya is around'

Appetite for destruction


It is quite interesting how Little Anya likes to bring things down rather than marvel at its beauty . She has a few mats to build with and when her parents make a nice looking small castle for her she ofcourse likes it and plays with it, but a terrible fate awaits the castle.



The castle sure serves as a good hide and seek terrain, her parents are kept busy locating Little Anya in and out of the castle. While her parents are still basking in the glory ( of having made the castle! ), Little Anya plays quite a demolition man with her bare hands.


The castle is razed to the ground in no time and infact it is this activity which gives Little Anya a lot of pleasure . Just for the record, her parents have been heard denying having taught her anything like this and attribute it to her strong individuality.


While we are at it, we would also like to mention another small story. When Little Anya's Mom returns from work, Little Anya is seen going totally ecstatic. On such occassions, Little Anya is known to go round and round and shake her head with a smile. She has been observed grabbing her Mom's cap, playing with it and putting it on !

After a lot of persuasion or rather deception, Little Anya is known to relinquish her Mom's cap. The cap is known to have survived the food stains and all the possible drooling it has been subjected to.
