Emily: "Mom, can I wear my new tennis shoes outside to play?"
Me: "No, I don't want you to get them dirty in the mud."
Emily: "Then why did we even get them if I can't wear them?!"
Me: "Good point."

Emily: "Mom, why do you have a picture of my nephew on your phone and not me?"
Me: "Because I like to put photos of him on there sometimes too."
Emily: "Because you love HIM more then you love ME!"
Me: (sigh)

Emily: "Mom, I want to wear my flower dress."
Me: "That dress is too small for you to wear anymore."
Emily: "What is this world coming too?"
Me: "Huh?"
-------------------------------------
Emily: "Mom, can I bring my drink in your car?"
Me: "No."
Emily: "But, you bring your coffee in there."
Me: "I'm a big person and big people don't spill."
Emily: "Well, when I'm big, I'm bringing coffee in my car and you can't because you will be a kid!"
Me: "I wish that was how it worked."

And they're usually so earnest and so serious when they say those things that it makes them doubly cute!! :)
teehee...yeah have these conversations often...
she is something else! wait until she's fifteen and wants to argue with you...she might even win.
She is too much.
I miss these kinds of conversations. They're so much better than "hey, can you drive me to the mall tonight? Just think ... pretty soon, I can drive myself!"
