Get to Know Anise!
Anise is somewhat nonverbal, so I would like to extend a HUGE shout out to Maelisa for helping out with this interview. The format of this interview is a little different, but Anise was such a pleasure to interview. She has the sweetest disposition, and had us laughing with some of her DELIGHTFUL answers. She is talented, spunky, and ready to be a friend to everyone!
Maelisa: “Hey Anise, we’re going to ask you some questions because you’ve been at McCall’s for a long time! You’re kind of a celebrity around here. Do you know how old you were when you got here? You were FOUR years old.”
Maelisa: “What is your favorite thing to do at McCall’s?”
Anise: “Work!”
Maelisa: “You do like to work. You do the dishes, and you always make sure they’re clean.”
Me: “Do you like doing the dishes?” Anise nods and smiles!
Maelisa: “Yeah, and she’s really good at it too! She doesn’t like ANYBODY getting in her way!” Anise laughs excitedly.
Maelisa: “And who is your best friend, Anise? Is it Anna? And you guys like to make jewelry and do crafts together?” Anise shows me and Maelisa the jewelry she made.
Maelisa: “You like making new friends? *Anise nods in agreement* And what does someone need to do if they want to be your friend? Just smile at you, right.” *Also, secret bonus tip for being Anise’s friend, bring her a Minnie Mouse. She LOVES Minnie Mouse!*
Maelisa: “And what do you want our followers to know about you? How about that you’re sweet and funny?” Anise again smiles and agrees excitedly.
Me: “You’re funny! Do you have any jokes you like? What do you do that is funny?” *Anise flashes an ornery grin, and says “I laugh.”
Maelisa: “She can be very ornery!”
Maelisa: “If you could do anything in the whole word what would it be?”
Anise: “Shopping!”
Maelisa: “She likes to go shopping. Every year for her birthday, we go out to eat and get our nails done. She likes to be pampered.”
Me: “Her fashion sense, is it like vibrant with lots of colors? Or does she prefer something else?”
Maelisa: “She loves color! She likes tie dye and bright colors, but her favorite thing is Minnie Mouse!”
Anise also told us she really would like to go to Branson after things open back up here. She loved being able to go to the Disney store. Anise thrives when has a steady schedule and consistency. She absolutely lives for the friendships she has made here, and even though she is happy to go home and see her family, she is still sad about having to leave her friends for a short while. When Maelisa asked Anise if she liked any boys, she responded with an enthusiastic “NO”, as she firmly believes boys are stinky! Boys ARE stinky, Anise! She was also excited to show case her room, her cute Minnie gear, and the jewelry she made with her best friend, Ana!
