Mom:  Do you feel okay?  Are you congested?

Emmie:  No, but my nose is stuffed up.

On the way to school.....

Emmie:  Can I have a piece of gum?

Mom:  No, we're almost to school and you'd have to spit it out as soon as you got there.

Emmie:  I know.  That's ok.

Mom:  Well, you'd only get to enjoy the gum for a minute instead of 15+ minutes another time.  

Emmie:  Or, 15 minus since gum taste doesn't last very long.

Tennis Trip

Emmie traveled with us to Simpson/Central.

Emmie played with Sami (the daughter of the Simpson Coach) all of Saturday morning.  Prior to leaving, she said to Sami, "Even though we're on different teams, I think you're pretty awesome."

Haley's Mom (Kandi) arrived to Simpson and was looking for Haley.  

Kandi:  Emmie, do you know where Haley is?

Emmie:  No, but you can use these (pulled binoculars out of her bag).

Later in the day,

Mom:  Do you want to sit next to Kandi, or near the court entrance?

Emmie confusingly stared at Kandi.

Mom:  Haley's Mom is named Kandi.  Did you know that?

Emmie:  That is an awesome name.  Kandi could carry candy.

In van on the return trip....

Mom:  Brooke just texted.  You and Shaylee can have an overnight at our house or theirs.

Emmie:  Well, they let us stay up as late as we want.

Mom:  I suppose that's reason enough to stay there, right?

Emmie:  No.  That's not better than you guys.  You're the best.

Haley:  That is so sweet.

Emmie:  Yeah, but I could reject that at any time just so you know.

Culvers had drawings on the wall from a kids' coloring contest.  Two pictures were next to each other with the names, Hayley and Caitlyn:

Emmie:  Did Haley and Kaitlin do these?
