Emmieism's
On the way home from Kylie's, I told Emmie that I would have stopped at the Dairy Queen for her if it had been open, "I think I know why it's not open. I have a hypothesis. It's cold out and no one likes to eat ice cream in the cold."
While talking to Shaylee, "I love to clean. Actually, my favorite hobbies are cleaning, sleeping and drawing."
Emmie: What does Crosley have?
Mom: A bone.
Emmie: How do you know?
Mom: Because I just pried it from her mouth to discover that it was just a bone.
Emmie: She was probably like, hey, what in tarnation? I didn't do anything wrong. This is mine.
Mom: We need to pick up your doll stuff downstairs.
Emmie: Why?
Mom: Just in case Crosley gets down there. Guess who I'd be in trouble with if Crosley got a hold of one of your dolls?
Emmie (smirking): Grannie Jannie! I want to see you get in trouble with Grannie.
Mom: Why?
Emmie: I'm always the one in trouble. Why can't someone else get in trouble?

Perspective Drawing
Emmie informed me that she wanted to look up "how to draw a village" on the computer. We found a video, but she was quickly distracted by the video in the sidebar, "how to draw a toilet". She watched with enthrallment, hoping that they'd draw something in the toilet (1st grade humor), but did not follow along. She then, watched and followed along with a video showing how to draw a room with perspective (3D). This was done by herself:
Emmie added the details on the far wall and the table in the connected room. |
"Let's Celebrate!"
Before school, and unbeknownst to Mom, Emmie found the 2L of Coke that Grandpa left for Mom, opened it, said "Let's Celebrate," and started chugging.

Emmieism's
While putting together a toy, "According to my calculations, this should snap in just like....THAT!"
While playing Pop-a-Shot with Eric, "We are really blowing steam."
Emmie seems to have an obsession with cleaning the glass on the shower door. I often have to leave her in the shower longer so that she can finish scrubbing with soap and a sponge. Upon getting out of the shower, and the night before leaving for her trip, she dried the door with her towel, "Mom, I'll be very impressed with you if this is still clean when I come back."
Upon parting ways for her trip, Emmie gave Mom instructions:
Emmie: Mom, remember what you're supposed to do?
Mom: Keep the shower door clean, throw the ball for Crosley and make sure Turner poops when he is outside (she referenced this earlier in the week since Turner, once a year, chooses to forgo the cold weather).
Emmie: Yeah, and pet Wrigley. And keep Crosley away from Wrigley's eye.

Quotes
Emmie: My stomach doesn't feel very well.
Mom: Probably because I caved at the grocery store.
Emmie: What does caved mean?
Mom: Remember when you whined about how much you wanted an AirHead? I knew that you had already had enough sugar today, but I gave in and let you have it anyway because I was tired of your whining.
Emmie: Yeah, I knew that I was annoying begging.
While decorating Emmie's room with TMNT wall decals, and Glow Show (space) stickers:
"April is going to be upside down....since they're in space."
"This will really spruce it up."
"We should have made a whole wall of just Mikey. He's my favorite; no offense to the other Turtles."
While at Grandma and Grandpa's for New Year's:
Mom: Emmie, Grandma asked you to help fold napkins. She went to a lot of trouble to host everyone for dinner. The least that you can do is to help her.
Emmie: No, the least that I can do is to not help.
Mom: True.
