Anna Bruno, aka "mom", is probably one of the best people in the world. Here are some important steps if one wants to become Anna Bruno.
1. Be incredibly patient. Now be more patient. You're probably still not at the level of patience Anna is, but you're off to a good start.
2. Have the ability to wake up 20-30 exhausted teenagers at 7:45 AM, every morning. An important step to the is making sure to do it with a smile on your face, and loudly enough that no one can "not hear you".
3. Becoming really good at yoga is an important step to being Anna. With time and practice, this is one of the most achievable steps. An incentive to truly mastering this step is that a ski resort might offer you a job teaching yoga, which has all sorts of benefits (i.e., free lift tickets).
4. Respond to "mom". Much to the frequent dismay of rafters/all other people, it sometimes appears as though Anna has 23 kids. All within five years of each other. Most Keeners refer to Anna as mom, and when more than four of us say it at once, we definitely get some strange looks. Silly Americans.
5. Having a way with words is the fifth step to becoming Anna. When someone does something wrong, she never tells them that they're a bad person, and she never really yells. Instead, she tells them what they did wrong, and that it shouldn't happen again. Handing out push ups is a GREAT way to keep everyone on good behavior.
