but she also said that he was already 7 months old.
Did Mary say she babysat when her own daughter, who was born in July 1959, was 18 months old?
Did Mary say how old the child was that she babysat, did Mary name the mother, did she name the child?
She didn’t. Charlette Le Fevre did that.
Did Mary name the woman she babysat for, ANNA?
Was it Charlete who turned her into Stanley Ann Dunham, and convinced Mary she had babysat the little potus?
Did Mary agree with Charlette out of vanity(she went to school with the children of Bob Hope, in Hollywood, remember?)
Was Mary stuck with the identification of ANNA as Stanley Ann Dunham, when Charlette then wrote she had confirmed with the University of Washington, that ‘Stanley Ann Dunham’ had attended classes there.
When in fact, the registration would have been for the student ANNA OBAMA. The same student who was listed in the Seattle directories as ANNA OBAMA. The same student Mary named ANNA.
After that, Mary couldn’t deny anything, whereas what she should have said to Charlette is, ‘ I have no idea what you are talking about.’
And once she was caught in the spin by Charlette Le Fevre, who conducted walking tours past the homes of the rich and infamous in Seattle...she was stuck with it.
However, when it came to light that if you add 18 months to June 1959, you get January 1961, the wheels started to spin. Charlette edited her own article. ( A reprint from another website shows the original without the edit.)
THEN Mary tried to say that the babysitting took place in early 1962. To which Corsi commented that the child must have been 7 months of age.
And American Thinker wrote, (assuming the babysitting took place in early August) if the child was 7 months of age, he must have been born in January 1961.
Round and round it goes. In the original article, Mary never mentioned the age of the child. She said he was ‘a good size’ - and I think that’s a comment that would relate to a young baby, not a child of seven months.
Seems obvious that anything said by Mary on the subject after the initial telephone interview by Charlette was going to need to be an attempt to cover up the unrehearsed truth.
Mary babysat for ANNA OBAMA when Mary’s daughter, who was born in July 1959, was 18 months of age.
And that had absolutely nothing to do with Stanley Ann Dunham or the identity of the boy Stanley Ann showed up with at Susan Blake’s house with a three weeks old baby that quite obviously wasn’t hers.
There were TWO women and TWO children. Two sets of parents. And Stanley Ann Dunham was nothing but a courier, who took the child she showed Susan to BOSTON that very same day.
And somehow those two little boys ended up sitting next to each other, one quite obviously at least six months older than the other.
Timeframes for events must be governed to a certain extent by the Honolulu Polk and Seattle Directory listings, both of which were for the 1961-1962 period.

And that’s my 2 cents...
Here’s a link to a reprint of Mary’s story BEFORE the edit:
http://www.sgn.org/sgnnews37_06/page3.cfm
“Mary Toutonghi, who now lives in Soldatna, Alaska, recalls Barack as “a really alert baby, very happy and a good size.” She does not remember him ever crying (although she adds she is sure he likely did but does not remember any undue fussing). She recalls as best she can the dates she babysat Barack as her daughter was 18 months old and was born in July of 1959 and that would have placed the months of babysitting Barack in January and February of 1962.”
from the archived article written by Charlette Le Fevre:
https://web.archive.org/web/20110208223947/http://www.seattlechatclub.org/News.html
” Mary Toutonghi who now lives in Soldatna Alaska, (2) recalls Barack as ³a really alert baby, very happy and a good size². She does not remember him ever crying (although she adds she is sure he likely did but does not remember any undue fussing). She recalls as best she can the dates she baby sat Barack as her daughter was 18 months old and was born in July of 1959 and that would have placed the months of baby sitting Barack in January and February of 1962. [Note: 9/3/09: I believe Mary’s daughter was older than what she remembered which would account for the age discrepency].
Charlette went on to write:
“During our first interview, Mary referred to Stanley Ann Dunham as ³Anna² not knowing that it was the same name as what was listed in the Seattle City Directory. This verified for us that indeed Mary had known Ann Dunham...”
The only age discrepancy there was, was due to Charlette adding 18 months to June 1959, and making that January and February 1962. INSTEAD OF 1961!
