On the way home from school, we saw a mail truck near the top of Adirondack. As we came down the hill, Emmie spotted another one:
Emmie: I thought the mail truck was up the hill. How did it get here?
Mom: There is more than one of them?
Emmie: What? They're among us....dun, dun, dun (with appropriate sound effects).
At school pick-up.....
Emmie: I thought you were supposed to pick me up in the new truck.
Mom: I couldn't get it today because the Title is in your Dad's name so I have to legally transfer the Title.
Emmie: They don't believe that you own the car. Wow, they're judgey.
While in the bathtub....
Emmie: This water (temperature) is absolutely decadent.
Moments later.....
Emmie: Can I shave half my head?
Mom: I thought we compromised by letting you shave part of your head.
Emmie: Yeah, but Daddy was fine with it because he hasn't bear attacked me by now?
Mom: Bear attacked you?
Emmie: Yeah, that's what I call it because he gets really loud and looks like a bear when he's mad.
Unable to fall asleep....
"I can't sleep until my mind stops thinking of ideas and my stomach stops thinking about food."
Random conversation in the car.....
Emmie: Do you know that some people can take their dog anywhere with them? The dog is even allowed on airplanes.
Explanation of seeing eye dogs and therapy dogs ensued.
Emmie: I wish Lu was a therapy dog, and I was the type of person that needed a therapy dog.
Emmie joined me during my exercise video for a short time....
Emmie: Why are we doing butt kicks?
Mom: Exercise
Emmie: That's just weird. I'm out.
Eric and Mom thought Emmie was still asleep. Little did we know, she had made her way in the family room and was hiding under a blanket. Eric began to clean up and put another blanket on top of Emmie, who got quite a kick out of the situation, "I just played Eric like a kazoo."
