ANNA IS TAPING -
End comment internal seminar Oslo Sunday 27th of June
Anna loves to tape.
Anna is good at taping.
Anna has been practising for a long time.
She manages to tear off suitable pieces from the rack with tags.
The tape doesn’t glue together so often either.
The tags on the white tape rack are the best.
That tape is broader too.
But not as bright as the tape on the thin blue rack, the one with the nasty teeth.
But then Anna may use her scissors instead.
When Anna is taping on the shiny coffee table in the living room, the tape almost disappears. Only when the sun is shining on the tabletop, can Anna see a thin strip on each side.
Daddy has not discovered the tape on the shiny coffee table yet.
When he discovers it, he moves the tapes back on the shelf high up on the wall. That’s tricky, for then Anna has to climb up on a high chair to reach the tapes.
If not, mommy gives Anna the tape.
Mommy thinks Anna may tape a little, when she needs to.
When Camilla in the kindergarten denies Anna to take part in the play because Anna’s hair is too short, Anna thinks it will be nice to tape a little behind the leather sofa when she’s back home.
When she removes the tape, there is still a little sofa on the tape. Just as when she’s taping on the wall.
Daddy does not appreciate Anna’s taping on the wall.
He says he doesn’t intend to paint the living room every year.
Daddy tells Anna where she must not tape.
Mommy doesn’t say so much.
Mommy, she loves taping herself.
Anna has taped the hole in the sitting board on her tripp-trapp-chair.
It’s nice to tape on the kitchen cupboards.
Specially on the grips.
And on the refrigerator.
And on the floor in the living room.
And on the bath.
Daddy says that Anna may tape on the newspaper, but only on the pages and not on the sides. Because then he’s not able to open the newspaper, he says.
But if that’s the problem, Anna can just bring her scissors, and cut a little, helping daddy to open the paper.
The grown-ups don’t think Anna cares about not playing with Camilla and the other girls in kindergarten.
But even if Anna’s standing by herself near the window with her teddy and her pillow and the picture book about the long journey, Anna does wish to have longer hair.
And she wishes she could have taped a little in kindergarten too.
But Rita will understand when she comes tomorrow.
And mommy. Mommy says that she understands that Anna is sad.
Mommy will talk to Rita so that Rita knows that Anna is sad.
When Anna is going to kindergarten she’s allowed to have the striped dress on which she got from grandma who is dead, and the necklace.
And without daddy knowing, she has brought with her the tape and her scissors, too.
