Conversations

Emma and I have had some good conversations today.

E (wearing a plastic, blow-up hook on her hand, that was once a kid's meal toy): Aaargh!
Me: Ahoy, matey!
E: No! You're not a pirate. I'm a pirate! You be scared. Aaaargh!
Me: Oh, no, a pirate! I better run away!

E (toting plastic scissors from a doctor's kit): Can I cut your hair?
M: NOOOOO! We NEVER even pretend to cut hair. NO CUTTING HAIR. Not even with plastic scissors.
E: What can I cut?
M: Umm, paper?
E (thinking, then exclaims): I can cut coupons for Kroger!

Sounds like you are raising her right. My kids have never even heard of coupon cutting.

The things they pick up at such a young age! Molly loves to cut coupons- for about 10 minutes- then leaves a nice, big mess for me to clean up.

I have definitely had a similar conversation about what scissors are (and are not) used for...but you've obviously been setting a better example of coupon cutting!

That was great. Her second quote made me laugh out loud. Adorable.
