A Christmas Story

One of my favorite things about the holidays is when TBS airs 24 hrs of "A Christmas Story."    Cracks me up every.single.time.  This year, we were watching the part where Ralphie's dad knocks the nuts and bolts out of Ralphie's hands.  As you all know, Ralphie says, "Oh Fudgggggeeeee.....Only I didn't say 'fudge.'"  Yes, you all know the part, where he says the "F-dash-dash-dash word."  So, as this part came on, Emily and asks, "Mommy, what did Ralphie say?!"  I told her he said a really bad word that no one she knows ever says.  She then leans over and whispers, "Did he say 'fart'?"

"Yes, Emily, he said fart."  Phew!  Dodged a bullet on that one!

Kids'll Say the Darndest Things...

Emily and Christian each cracked me up today. Here goes:

Emily was doing a "newscast" with a play microphone and was doing a report on how a bank got robbed. I asked her, "So, Emily, what got taken?"
Emily: Oh, money. AND they took all of the suckers and the stickers too.

Then, Cubby and I asked Christian who he wanted to invite to his birthday party.
Christian: Lots' of friends. All of them.
Cubby: Like who?
Christian: Julia. And Maren. And Maddie.
Cubby: Any boys?
Christian: One boy. Christian. Girls love me.

HA!

Emily's Opinions

Here are a few of Emily's little insights and opinions as of late:

#1. Sunday, as we were getting ready for church:

Emily: Mommy, if your belly and bottom keep getting bigger, pretty soon you won't be able to fit through the door into the bathroom!

Mommy: Yeah, that would be a major problem! I'll have to not eat so many cookies, huh?

#2. Monday, when we're at dancing:

Emily: Mommy, some of the girls in my dancing class like to listen the the Jonas Brothers. They think they're cute.

Mommy: Well, what do you think?

Emily: I think they're old.

Deep Thoughts, by Emily

Deep Thought #1:

Emily: Mommy, I think I know what I want to be when I grow up.

Me: Oh, what's that?

Emily: A newspaper thrower.

Me: Well, we'll make sure you can be a paper girl when you turn ten, okay?

This makes me think of when Cubby was little. He told his parents that he wanted to be a milkman so he could deliver milk to his little girlfriend :-).

Deep Thought #2:

Emily: Mommy, I'm tired of Earth. I want to move to a new planet; probably a blue one.

Apparently, she's seen enough of our blue planet and has decided to venture out.
