Quotes

When leaving for school, I asked Emmie if she remembered the erasers she wanted to take, "Oh, I forgot them.  Thank you for double thinking Mommy."​

While at soccer, Emmie was on the sideline with us and prepped to run back onto the field....

Eric:  Shoe!  Shoe!

(Emmie takes off)

Mom:  Your shoe is untied.

Emmie:  Oh, I thought he meant like shoo, shoo, ru​n back to the court.

Mom:  You mean field?

Emmie:  Yeah.

We had some free fake foliage sitting next to the mailbox.

Emmie:  Why didn't anyone take that yet?

Mom:  They may not want it, just like we don't.

Emmie:  Or they all have blind ntosis.

Mom:  What is that?

Emmie:  Let's say one person is blind, and another comes in contact with them.  They become blind also.

Upon dressing for Franklin's party:

Mom:  Dress shoes are probably not conducive to running around the playground.

Emmie:  Yeah, but when Franklin sees me, I want him to say, WOW!

Mom:  Franklin is probably not of the age where he notices what shoes a girl is wearing.  And if he does, he may prefer you in tennis shoes like Eric prefers I.  They are more comfortable and allow you to run fast.

Emmie:  Just because Eric likes tennis shoes, doesn't mean Franklin does.  And why does Franklin run away from me when he sees me.

Mom:  That is how boys that age sometimes act when they like a girl.  They don't want to show that they like you.

Emmie:  Oh yeah, because all the other boys would make fun of him if they knew he loved a girl.

While Eric was traveling, "It is kind of lonely here without Eric."

Emmie asked about acquiring more gems in the game, Cooking Fever.  "You mean like you can buy them online?  For real money?  Who would do that?  They're dumb.  It's just a game."

After a long day, "I don't want to go to bed right now (7:30 PM), but I feel like I should."

"We learned about cromagnums at school today.  They lived in the Ice Age and made traps to catch sabretooth tigers.  They could make a flute out of bones."

Cro-Magnon is what she was referencing.

Upon climbing into bed with me one morning....
Emmie:  Why is there always a pillow under the covers?
Mom:  Because I sleep with a pillow between my knees.  It is good for your back, and posture.
Emmie:  Well, my friends think it is weird.  Can you not do it?
