Sunday evening....
"Eric has super human strength. He defeated both of us (wrestling). His super hero name should be Erickoo. Like cuckoo bird, but Erickoo."
Emmie: I'm not tired. Why do I have to go to bed?
Mom: You have school tomorrow and need your rest.
Emmie: Why do I have to go to school?
Mom: The State has a policy that children need to go to school. And you need an education such that you can get into college, graduate school and then get a job.
Emmie: So it never stops?
Mom: (chuckling)
Emmie: Do I have to get a job when I grow up?
Mom: Depends on the standard of living that you want to have. You need a source of income to pay for a house like this, have food on the table, etc. You don't necessarily have to have a job working for someone else though.
Emmie: How?
Mom: You could be an artist and sell your artwork. You could start a business. You could be an author, and write books for a living. You could be a professional athlete and get paid to play sports?
Emmie: They'll pay you for that? Playing sports is just fun. I'm going to be an artist. People won't pay for scribbly-dibbly art though. It needs to be special and I have just the idea.
Mom: What is your idea?
Emmie: I can't tell you or else you'll create it first.
Mom: I'm exhausted. How is that you're not tired?
Emmie: Maybe I have super staying up powers. Or, because I ate too much candy.
Monday morning....
"How is it morning already? I tried to stay up all night."
While studying a DVD with 3 Ernest movies on it at the breakfast table:
"They should make a 4th movie and call it Ernest is Honest since that kind of means the same thing."
Moments later, and while studying a Monster High DVD:
"This guy, Valentine, he broke up with like 10,000 girls. He pretended to love them. Isn't that not very earnest?"
"My fingers are getting stronger at squeezing stuff again (wrestling injury from the night prior). When Eric gets back, let's put our turtle masks on and jump on him "booyah, kasha" style."
