Emma (and Johnny!) Quotes

Trying to regulate a sibling dispute:

Mama to Emma: You can’t have the [stuffed] squirrel and the red pen. Which one do you choose?

Emma: But I have two hands!

Emma talking to her sidewalk chalk, who are lined up on the pavement: You guys have one leg. I have two legs. I have head, arms, belly button, shirt, shorts, underpants… You guys have no shirt, shorts, underpants, belly button, arms… You guys are red and yellow and brown and green and purple. All the colors.

 

Emma’s really into marriage lately. Here’s an excerpt from a recent car conversation about Johnny getting married:

Daddy: Should Johnny marry Nora (one of Emma’s friends)?

Emma: No.

Daddy: Should Johnny marry Ava (another friend)?

Emma: No.

Daddy: Should Johnny marry Cinderella?

Johnny (very enthusiastically): Yeah!

Emma: No, Cinderella already have a prince!

After Emma pinched Johnny:

Mama: Emma, you can’t pinch Johnny.

Emma: But, I can say I’m sorry!

  1. That's funny, Rebecca has been marrying all her toys recently, that is, the buttons all get married, and the chalk all gets married, and sometimes she gets married to random things too. Her definition of marriage is obviously very loose.

  2. Making of a Montessori Mum

    love it love it love it!!! I cant wait to hear what jems tilly brings out as her vocab gets more complex. (:

  3. josh, erica, nora and wells

    That is so funny! For some reason Nora is obsessed with Wells getting married too. She is always saying- Wells, you will grow up and get married some day. Don't worry, Mummy, he will still be your little boy. But my favorite is the chalk-talk. Hilarious. She really put them down to size.

  4. Johnny better watch out when he gets older if Emma is already scrutinizing his "girlfriends" (Cinderella). Too funny.
