My niece Ananya is my favorite topic of conversation. I am always looking for ways to show off how smart she is. My brother has a twitter page for her called Anyaism, which is thoroughly entertaining, although he skips some of her funnier gags having to do with her antics on the throne! Here are my 10 most favorite Anya-tweets.

[On the movie Over The Hedge] Yesterday I saw this movie. It had a bad bear, a bad man, a monster woman and a good turtle with a green bum.

[Ananya, please close your eyes and sleep!] My eyes are not working. There are no batteries in my eyes. Mom put the wrong batteries.

[Look papu, a white cloud made of vanilla ice-cream!] Appa, LOOK! A pink cloud made of flamingo.

MOMMY! DO NOT START GIVING ME A TIMEOUT! I am cutting something.

Bicycles are not animals. Maybe they are cars!

Obama? That's a funny name. What does he do?

Appa, I don't need you anymore. When Mihir becomes big like you, he will be my daddy.

No is a bad word. [That's right]. Yes and please are good words. [That's right, papu]. Yes, I want some chocolate pleeeeease!

Appa, can you eat a man? [No sweety, that wouldn't be nice] How about Spiderman? Can you eat Spiderman? I don't like him.

Then that guy said, *gruff voice* "Who is going to take care of Ananya's life?". I can take care of my life.
