Emmie went to Cancun for a week with her Dad. 4 days later, Emmie and Mom went to Mexico. Eric took us to the airport and Trump's desire to build a wall on the Mexico/US border randomly was part of our conversation. Emmie asked a number of questions before making this comment, "Wait, is that why we keep going to Mexico now?"
Weeks later, Emmie continued to ask about immigration. Emmie was stunned to learn that Mexico was not part of the U.S.
Emmie: That's sad for people from Mexico....you know, Mexicans. But, Daddy was Mexican.
Mom: No, your Dad legally lived in Mexico as a US citizen.
A school assignment that came home:
IF I WERE PRESIDENT: First, I would take down the wall and let people in because it is no fair. Next, I would let kids be in charge of grown-ups. Last, I would say 2 days of school and 5 weekend days.
On the deck....
Grandpa: Watch Sophia so she doesn't fall down the stairs.
Emmie: Ok.
(Emmie wanders off)
Grandpa: I asked you to watch Sophia.
Emmie: I'm irresponsible Grandpa.
Emmie: What is the point of having money if you don't get to spend it?
Grandpa: What do you mean?
Emmie: Mom and Eric never let me spend money.
While in the bathroom, "I'm not a big fan of the fan. Get it?"
After gymnastics, "Nate is a really good coach. Of all the coaches that I've had at gymnastics, there's just something particular or special about him."
While cutting her nails....
Emmie: Whoa, that was too close to the chase!
Mom: (confused)
Emmie: Cut to the chase, right?
On a dog walk.....
Emmie: At school, we were all trying to think of nicknames by coming up with a word that starts with the same letter as someone's name, but I couldn't think of one that I liked for myself.
Mom: Excellent? Eccentric?
Emmie: No, because Mrs. Lake and I would be the only two that know what that word means.
While getting dressed...
Emmie: Sorry...I have your socks on.
Mom: That's perfectly ok, but why do you have my socks on?
Emmie: I wanted to look more like an adult today.
