- "Emily, you look even cuter than me!" Elizabeth is such a generous sister.
- "I bought Elizabeth an iPad and she loves it." Elizabeth casually mentioned to me one morning. That's right, she supposedly bought her AGD an iPad, like it's no big deal. I told her that if she had enough money laying around to buy her doll an iPad, perhaps she could lend some of it to me....
- "When are you going to pay me back?" The other morning, I borrowed a couple of dollars from Elizabeth. I was meeting a friend for coffee and neither Lee nor I had any cash on us, so I asked Elizabeth to borrow a couple of dollars, which she happily gave me. She then spent the next 24 hours asking for repayment, non-stop! And yes, I finally paid her back - 25 hours later.
- "I have the best pirints [parents] in the world." This is a note that Elizabeth wrote to Lee and I and we will keep it forever. What did we do to deserve such praise? After we met with Elizabeth's teacher and got her report card, I wrote a note and put it in her lunchbox, letting her know how proud we were of her for working so hard. She nearly exploded with happiness when she found the note, and wrote one of her own back to us.
- "I love Mr. Nick's mohawk." Emily is already showing signs of being attracted to "bad boys," considering that she has her heart set on Nick, the mohawk-sporting owner of The Refuge.
- "Can I have my birthday here?" asked Emily, in the middle of dinner. "Here" is a local sports bar called Rookies, where we happened to go with a bunch of friends after a local competition.
- "How was the bad girl?" Emily is fascinated with a little girl that we see at church every Sunday who is horribly behaved. This past Sunday, Emily had Sunday school, so she was unable to see for herself just how bad the "bad girl" was.
- "I don't play with Lambie anymore because if I play with Lambie, you won't get me an American Girl Doll. But I love Lambie." Emily has been good about only sleeping with Lambie lately, not playing with him/her.
- "The tallest person I know is Auntie Kathy." This is a pretty amusing comment coming from Elizabeth, considering the amount of time that she spends with some powerlifters we know....
- "Are you Auntie Kathy's little sister because you are so much shorter than her? Because I'm Elizabeth's little sister and she's taller than me."
- "Guess what, Mommy? Miss Jen knows all about the girls from TDI going to the dance competition this weekend!!" That would probably be because Miss Jen = TDI. Not sure why, after 5 years of dance, Elizabeth hasn't figured that one out yet.
- "I wish I was Elizabeth." "Why?" "Because she always tells on me and I get in trouble."
- "Don't worry, if I get butter in my nose I won't have to go back to the hospital. It will melt."
- "I know, I know. I'm very chappy." That's "chatty" for those of you that can't see her hand motion.
- "Grammy makes desserts and Grandpa makes MEAT!!" True, very true.
- "I know who sings this. Gusher." That's Usher.
- "I wish that the Lady Gaga [paparazzi] people had left his mother alone so she could have been at the wedding." Elizabeth was very into the royal wedding and wished the Princess Diana could have been there.
- "What's this?" Elizabeth asked, pointing to an ironing board inside the closet of the hotel where we were staying. In case you were wondering, I don't iron much.
- "Our daddy looks like Daddy Worry-box." Emily loves Annie, even when she doesn't get the characters' names just quite right.
- "My knee pits are all wet!" yelled Elizabeth after we ran through the church parking lot in pouring rain. You know, knee pits - the spot behind your knee on the back your leg.
