Conversations With Emma Belle

"Mama, I'm going to tell you a story. One day upon a time, I was riding my bike and I was a bad girl and went out into the street and a car came and hit me really hard and I DIED!"

I just about stopped breathing and said "Emma no no no! You don't ever ride in the street, you never go into the street for ANYTHING unless you are holding my hand!"

Emma with an annoyed sigh, "Mama, it's JUST a STORY! Calm down now!"

"Mama, birds can be nocturnal..."

"No, most birds are awake in the day....they like to sleep and hide in their homes at night."

"Not OWLS. Owls are nocturnal."

"Oh, yeah, I guess you are right. Good thinking!"

"I TOLD you, birds can be nocturnal!"

"Mama, when Nana gets here I get to be 4."

"Well, actually your birthday is a couple days before Nana gets here."

"I don't want to be 4 without Nana."

"Um...ok!"
