Oldie but goodie!

Here's something that I wrote and never posted. Thought I would share!

This week has been full of interesting comments from Emerson. I'll start with the beginning of the week and work my way to the end. Then I'll throw in a quick story from a few weeks back.



Monday--after ballet class, going to Wal-Mart with the family and STILL in her leotard and tights. . .



Em: (furiously doing arm and leg motions while strapped into her booster) "un, duh, twat, un, duh, twat. . .

Me: "Emerson, what are you doing?"

Em: "I'm doing ballet."

Me: "Oh, what are you saying?"

Em: "I'm saying un, duh, twat."

Me: "Oh, are you counting in French?"

Em: "Yes."

Me: "How does it go again?"

Em: "Un, Duh, TWAT!"



Of course by this point Tripp and I are laughing hysterically. I finally tried to convince her the word was trois (pronounced like twat without the t on the end) but she was insistent that the teacher had said twat. I obviously didn't tell her that the word she was saying was not a very nice word to say because some things are better left unsaid but I did try to sway her opinion on how to say the word. No luck for me though. She's still saying twat. . .and of course, she puts the most emphasis on the t at the end. I guess that is to prove her point. I can't wait to tell her ballet teacher what she taught Emerson this week!



Thursday--The kids and I are in the car on the way to Augusta for Cullen's 12 mo. shots. . .



Em: "Mommy, when I grow up I going to have brases."

Me: "What baby?"

Of course she repeats herself this time with more passion.

Me: "You mean bras, sweetie."

Em: "No Mamma, brases."

Me: "What are brases?"

Em: "BRASES."

Me: "Do you mean boobies?"

Em: "No, I already have boobies."

Me: "Oh, I guess that's true. Well, do you mean you want to wear a bra like Mommy?"

Em: "I mean those things that go over your nipples."

Me: "Emerson, those are called bras."

Em: "Okay, well I'm going to have big boobies and wear those things over my nipples."


What can I say? Out of the mouth of babes!
