Annie Anderson had the perfect name. She also had perfect, shiny brown hair and perfect bright brown eyes and a perfectly aligned smile. Her family seemed perfect too. I went to elementary school with Annie and I had never met a person who seemed so perfect and was nice too. Annie was the epitome of nice. Her mom was our Brownie troop leader for a few years, so we spent a good amount of time in her house. I think there were 6 daughters in the Anderson family. The oldest sister belonged in an after school sitcom she was so cool (Not the racy '90210' cool, she was more clean-cut than that. She was more like, 'Saved by the Bell' cool). And the youngest sister was so cute it made me actually want a younger sibling.
You may think I'm building up this family just to tear it down, but that isn't the case. I did learn over the years that the Andersons were less than perfect (just like anything else in this world), but they continued to be an exceptionally open, giving and beautiful family that I had the pleasure of knowing.
