Christmas Conversations

While in Tennessee Emily had some of her more memorable lines. As usual, my recounts won’t do them justice, but they are still worth sharing.

The first was a conversation in which Em showed her really smart uncle Matt that she might not be far behind.
Matt: Emily, when do you turn 3?
Emily: on my birthday… (you’d think a smart guy would know that,huh?)
Jeff: When is your birthday?
Emily: December 24
Matt: Ok, smarty. Do you know who’s birthday is the day after yours?
Emily: Baby Jesus!

Jeff discovered my mom’s high school year book while we were there.
Jeff: Emily, come here. I want to show you a picture of your Nana.
Emily: Where’s my nana?
Jeff: Right there.
Emily: That’s not MY nana. Where’s MY nana?
Jeff: That is her right there.
Emily: No, it’s not. (and walks away.)

Emily got some gum in her stocking at Nana’s and she wanted to share…
E: Mommy, you want some gum?
M: No, thank you.
E: But I thought you liked it.
M: Well, I do. I just don’t need any right now.
E: But I thought you were my best friend…
