Funnies from my fashionista!

Emma has definitely developed her own sense of fashion, and there is no telling her when she is wearing something "wrong."... Like the headband in this picture. She says she knows how she is "supposed" to wear it, but THIS is how SHE likes it. Can't argue with a fashionista. Gotta love my little hippie. :)

 

On another note, I realized I hadn't shared any of the funny things this little one has said in quite a while, so here are some more recent conversations from the past few months...

08/12/13 – While driving in the car with the kiddies...

Tj: can we go to MCDonalds tomorrow?
Me: I doubt it.
Emma: whyyyyyyy??
Me: Because McDonalds is boring & disgusting.
Tj (with a gasp of horror): it is not! McDonalds is awesome and delicious!... I get to eat a hamburger, so that is the delicious part. And they have a playground, so there you go: Awesome!
Me: yeah... I still don't like McDonalds.
Emma: But they have a playground mommy! And you should think that that is awesome too!
Me: why?
Emma: because we let you relax & read your kindle while we play on the playground, so you should be appreciative of the break instead of us asking for things every two minutes! ............
I had a few important realizations based on this conversation....
1. They realize that they bug & ask for things 24/7?!? Wtf... I thought it was just automatic, but now I think they are doing it to bug.
2. These kids are smart...
- Tj was able to immediately give me pretty good descriptive adjectives to counter argue my description of Mickey dees.
- and Emma? Seriously? What 5 year old chastises people for not being "appreciative?"
3. We will most likely end up at McDonalds tomorrow night for dinner, if anyone wants to join us. :)

07/25/13 - I took Emma with me to my Book Club meeting tonight. While we were waiting, she asked if it was my turn to choose a book for next month. I told her that I wasn't sure & that it might be....
E: "Well, if it IS your turn, I think I know what book you should choose, Mom."
Me: "Oh yeah, which one?"
E: "Beauty & the Beast!"
Me, smiling: "That's a great book, Em, but I think all the ladies in the group have read it already & we try to choose new books."
E, thinking hard for a second: "Okay... Then how about 'The Color Purple?"
Lol. My kid... Such a range of literary suggestions... Lol

06/24/13 - Emma complained of a tummyache & said she had to go to the bathroom. Then Tj told Emma & I, "Do you know what girl talk is for go to the bathroom?"
We said no. He then told us, "It's ' powder my nose.'... Emma, you are a girl so you should say you have to go powder your nose, not go to the bathroom!" ...... A few minutes pass, Emma is in the bathroom, & Tj is running up & down the hall, laughing hysterically & yelling, "I hope you didn't powder your nose in your pants Emma!"
Oh my goodness... Is it bedtime yet???

05/19/13 – Laying in bed, discussing our weekend at Disneyland...

Caligirl 2013 Weekend, according to Emma...
- Best Ride? ... "Tower of Terror."
- Most exciting part? ... Getting ready to get on the bus to go to Disneyland and I didn't know what we were going to do first.
- Most Fun part? ... Playing in the waterpark & being "swim buddies" with Alison.
- Silliest part? ... When Gina kept tickling trying to make me laugh & I was trying not to.
- Happiest-in-my-heart part? ... Getting to spend tbe whole weekend with you, Mommy!
- Saddest part? ... I missed TJ.
- Best Hotel part? .. Being roomates with Jayden.
- Best food? ... My pretzel with cheese dip and I mixed in mustard too.
- Most Relaxing part? ... Going to sleep in the hotel with the fireworks lights on the wall.
- Most Exhausted part? ... Riding home on the bus today.
Best part? ... Being silly with my friends. I really like Jayden & Alison & Alivia & Rachel & Madisen & Caty & Briana, Mommy! We are all friends even though some of us are Daisies & some are Brownies...... Yep. I think this weekend was definitely a success in my little girl's mind! And I would have to agree!!

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...
