Funnies...

Friday evening we went to Big Spring to be with Reg, Tera and their kids. We were eating dinner and as usual it was a battle to get Emma to eat. Reg was trying to get Abby (their 3 year old) to eat, too.

Reg: Abby, you better sit at this table and eat your dinner. Do you want to go to your bedroom and talk about it? (which translates into discipline)
Abby: No.

A few minutes later Emma was up from the table and Reg found her in Abby's room.

Reg: Emma why aren't you eating your dinner?
Emma: I wanna talk about it.
Reg: With who?
Emma: With Kate.
Reg: I don't think Kate wants to talk about it.
Emma: Yes her does.

Then an explanation of "talking about it" ensued. Emma didn't want to talk about it anymore.


Last night my parents were keeping the kids so Reg, Tera, Jay and I could go meet up with some old friends. The older girls (Emma and Abby) had been in the bedroom for a little while and things were really quiet (never good). Both girls come out and just looked at my mom and dad.

Gigi: What have you girls been doing?
Emma: Coloring on the door.

Gigi goes to the bedroom and sees the coloring on the door. The girls are scolded and Gigi cleans up the mess. A few minutes later...

Gigi: What were you girls thinking coloring on the door?
Emma: I was thinking about Jesus.
Trent (6 year old nephew): They were thinking about Jesus?!?
Gigi: They weren't thinking about Jesus. (To Emma) Jesus wouldn't like that.
Emma: Yes he would.

She's a hot mess, I tell ya!!
