While making pumpkin cookies and in reference to the pureed pumpkin, "That looks and tastes like carrots. I don't like it when it's rotten." (she meant raw)
"Sounds like a deal, Mrs. Diehl."
"I'm going to make this pumpkin look horrifying." Mom: Ain't isn't a word. Emmie: Sure it is. It's in a song......even though we ain't got money, I'm so in love with you honey (singing of course).
