More Funnies

- "Um God?  Can you make it stop raining so I can play outside?"  At least Emily prays for good things.
- "Mommy, you look beautiful," said Elizabeth.  "No she doesn't," said Emily.  I love you too Emily.
- "When I grow up, people are going to call me Miss Elizabeth.  Or Mrs. Elizabeth.  I haven't decided yet."
- "I like the afternoon the best."  Why, you might ask?  Because naptime is over and Elizabeth comes home from school.  Emily still adores her sister and does not really savor time away from her.
- "I love New Hampshire.  But I really, really don't like driving to New Hampshire."  This could have been said by any of the four of us, but came from Elizabeth, two days before our May visit.
- "Grammy, you know what?  My mom's friend Mrs. Dudley is my favorite girl in Connecticut and Aunt Denise is my favorite girl in New Hampshire."  Good thing Grammy is not the jealous type.
- "I want Daddy.  I don't love you.  I only love Daddy."  Guess which one of us has to get Emily dressed in the morning and, on this particular day, vetoed a long sleeved knit dress because temperatures were projected to reach 96 degrees?
- "And that was the end of that story."  So said Emily, interrupting Elizabeth in the middle of a very long story that Emily obviously decided had gone on long enough.
- "I just love...to eat."  Considering the genetics on both sides of the family, Elizabeth's proclamation isn't that surprising.
- "You are wasting my day."  That's what Elizabeth told me one Sunday when I didn't have enough activities planned to keep her satisfied...
- "I wish that NaaNaa will always be my best friend."  Emily's 4 year birthday wish.  Tissues please.
- "Did one of you get me a Mulan Barbie?"  Emily, as her little birthday gathering, making sure that one of the guests had purchased the one thing she truly wanted.
- "I don't know why I fart so."  That's our Elizabeth.
- "You are just going to have to make them over, and over, and over, and over and over again until you get the grip of it."  Elizabeth, encouraging me to work on my pancake making abilities.
- "Why do we always have to do something to get something good?"  That's why they call it a reward, Elizabeth.
- "Emily, do you need to go to the bathroom before we leave?"  "Why, don't they have a bathroom at their house?"  Smart aleck.
