More musings from my Mini-me...

03/31/13 - I just asked Emma what was her favorite thing in her Easter basket. She said, "ummm....well, my favorite thing for Easter isn't really a 'thing'..." I said, "oh, was it your chocolate bunny?" E: "No..." Me: "was it your swim suit?" Emma: "Mommy! My favorite 'thing' wasn't anything in my basket! My favorite 'thing' is getting to spend the whole Easter day with you! There's nothing better than hanging with my mama all day!" I love this kid! I wonder how much longer she will feel like this about spending time with old mom...

02/17/13 – While at the hockey game with our girl scout troop...

Me: Emma, smile nicely while Gina takes our picture!
Em: Ha! Mom, I smiled like this! (*proceeds to squint & puff her cheeks out full of air)
Me: Emma!
Em: He he he. it was funny. I looked just like an ORPHAN!
Me: An orphan???
Em: Yep, just like an orphan.... (*pauses... Smiles) Oops! Not an orphan. A SQUIRREL! I looked just like a squirrel!
Me (shaking my head): yeah, cuz those are 2 terms that are easy to confuse! Orphan & squirrel.
Lol. My kid...

01/14/13 - Emma was discussing her upcoming science fair project with her cousins this weekend. One of them commented that she would have an awesome project since Mommy is so good at science. We laughed and said something along the lines of "the other kids will probably have models and Emma will be cloning human beings." A while later...
E: Mom, when are we going to the store?
Me: I wasn't planning on it today... Why?
E: 'Cause we need to go get the beans.
Me: What? What beans?
E: The ones I'm gonna draw people on....
Me (totally confused): What ARE you talking about, Em?
E (totally exasperated): Mo-om! For my science project? You guys said that I am going to make HUMAN BEANS!!!

01/11/13 - Me: "I'm tired!"
Emma: "Good morning, 'Tired.' My name is Emma."
...a long, withering look from mommy to Emma...
Emma: "I think you mean that you FEEL tired Mommy; not that you ARE tired."
... *sigh*... I hate when being a grammar nazi comes back in the form of a 5 year old to bite me in the ass...

01/04/13 - Watching the previews before tonight's dvd with Emma & there is a commercial about bluray/digital combo packs & being able to "have your movies on the go."
Emma: "what does 'portable' mean, Mommy?"
Me: "it means you can take something with you."
E: "Ohhh... So then I must be VERY portable, huh Mom? 'Cause you take me EVERYWHERE!"

01/04/13 - Emma: "Mom, I'm gonna need some tape, a roll of toilet paper, a leash, and a small dog."
Me: "huh? What in the world...???"
Emma: "Don't worry about it... I just have an idea I want to try..."
*should I be worried here?? Lol

I delved further & found ouut she wanted to attach the toll of tp to the leash, using the the tape, & then let the dog run. So it would unroll the entire roll all over...
