Quotes

Eric:  Crosley, here, this bone has your name on it.

Emmie:  How can it have her name on it?

Emmie has been fighting some stomach issues:

Emmie:  My cousins come soon and I'm scared that they are going to get sick.

Mom:  I don't think it is something that is contagious.  If it is still bothering you next week, we may need to take you to the doctor.  In the meantime, I'll do some research on the computer.

Emmie:  Ok.  Look up stomach hurting, runny poops.

During a FaceTime call with Grandpa and Grandpa....

Emmie:  I'm sleeping in a tent.  And look (shut the door with velcro), this is the ultimate Crosley lockdown.

At the end of the call....

G&G:  Thanks for calling!

Emmie:  Thank Mommy.  I didn't want to call.

Emmie was home sick from school.  While watching TV, she came across an NBC News Special Report (Obama):

Emmie:  Can we watch a movie?  This is boring; it's just some guy talking.

Mom:  Actually, watching this is a good opportunity to learn.

Emmie:  And I'm home from school so I should learn something.

Mom:  Exactly.  Do you know who that guy is?

Emmie (studying closely):  Michael Jordan?

Mom:  That is the President of our country.  He makes decisions for the country on behalf of all of us......everyone in Iowa, Illinois....millions of people.

Emmie:  Like Texas too, and all of America?

A discussion about the Presidency ensued, the upcoming election, potential candidates, etc.

Following the discussion, we went downstairs to get her set up for a movie.  Emmie was intent on having Crosley downstairs with her:

Mom:  She can stay down here if you keep an eye on her.

Emmie:  OK.  I'll keep her in my sights.
