En route:
Mom: Emmie, I need my phone for directions (as we neared Dubuque).
Emmie: You know where Dubuque is.
Mom: Right, but I don't know how to get to Molly's house.
Emmie: What?!? We've been there tons of times.
Mom (confused): You've only been there once or twice (years ago), and Molly moved since then.
Emmie: Does she still coach?
Mom (more confused): Molly doesn't coach; she is a veterinarian.
Emmie: I wondered how she coached at Coe when she lives this far away.
Mom (figured it out): The Molly that has twin boys still coaches at Coe. This is a friend from Mom's childhood named Molly. She has a daughter named Kylie.
Emmie: So Berkley (Kylie's daughter) won't be there?
Mom: No, different Molly, different Kylie.
Emmie: Oh. Here (she gave me the phone).
We went to the arcade after. Emmie won the jackpot (400 tickets) in game in which the odds of doing so is NOT LIKELY AT ALL. Think Plinko x10.
She cashed in 410 tickets at the counter. The clerk's tone was quite comical.
Emmie: I'll take one tootsie roll (2 tickets) and one mini eraser (2 tickets).
Mom: Emmie, you can get far more than one of each.
Emmie: I only want one.
Clerk: Ok. You have 406 tickets left.
The kids played outside at Molly's house once Kylie got home from school:
