Rainbows, Butterflies, Flowers & Dogs: September 2019

Wednesday, September 25, 2019

Mom: Lu is older than you in human years.
Emmie: No, she's younger than me in human years. She's older than me in dog years.

Summer had won a large stuffed animal sheep at Emmie's birthday party. Later, Emmie was opening a gift that ended up being a heated blanket. Emmie turned to Summer, "It's made of wool; your sheep may want to look away."

Mr. Brems was telling the class that it was important to stay on the (librarian) Mrs. Gladwell's good side. Emmie turned to the kid next to her:
Emmie: Yeah, did you hear about Anthony?
Kid: Who's Anthony?
Emmie: EXACTLY!

Emmie asked to go to Parlor City. I denied her request so she started singing, "Hello darkness, my good friend."

We throw spoiled fruit off the back deck into the woods. Emmie went to sling a banana, "I hope that this doesn't boomerang."

"Someone's name is Einsteim? I don't think they're Einstein if they don't know how to spell it."

On the way to school:
Emmie: Isn't it ironic that a candy cane is basically just sugar cane?

Emmie brought up the fact that the parents of one of her classmates are divorced which lead to a discussion about her Dad and I's divorce:
Emmie: I'm more okay with it now because I get triple Christmas presents.

While driving around, Emmie saw an open style Jeep.
Emmie: That exists? It doesn't seem very safe.
Mom: Kylie and I drove around in one of those quite a bit when we were teenagers and we're alive.
Emmie: (broke into song lyric) I will survive!

Emmie: Mom, do you know what cringe is? Show me an expression for cringe.
Mom: (makes face)
Emmie: That isn't cringe. I just cringed looking at your face like that.

While packing for a trip:
Mom: Do you want to take your slide ons?
Emmie: No, because my slide ons are more like slide offs.

Emmie was in the process of cleaning her room (over the course of days) when Eric entered to pick up dishes:
Emmie: I don't think Eric can last a day in my room.

We passed a cemetery while driving, "Mom, you've been topped.....to the best parents ever, Henry and Lisa."
Mom: What is your gravestone going to read?
Emmie: Died from not having enough dogs.

Random dog conversation, "Lu is the peppy one, Crosley is the protector and Wrigley is the wisdom giver."

While reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid, it was learned that Greg likes being sick because he likes lozenges:
Emmie: Why doesn't he just eat lozenges when he's not sick?
Eric: Because that would be too log.....ical.
(Emmie rolled her eyes)
Mom: Credit to Eric for his once monthly funny.
Emmie: Credit to Mommy for her 4x a day bad jokes.
