Allergies

Emma asked me if I remembered her friend's birthday party of Saturday. Yes. Well, before she went to the party I asked her to pick up dog poop in the backyard. As she cleaned it up she started to gag. She has been thinking about this a lot and thinks that the reason must be that she is allergic to dog poop.

Science Experiment

I had some fruit on the counter. A piece was a little past its prime. Mia saw it and excitedly said "Cool, we are watching fruit rot at school too!"

Mia: Dad is really hard to deal with.
Me: Why?
Mia: I can't pick him up.

Emma: Wow, did you notice that my hair is so long it is like a lion's mane... or a horse's tail. 

Spunk

Mia: Paula is the worst friend EVER!
Me: What happened?
Mia: She said I couldn't play our game anymore! I have been playing that game for TEN YEARS!!(huff)
Me: You are six years old.
(long pause)
Mia: I have been playing that game for TEN DAYS!! Well, it is much longer than ten days.

A few days later Emma was talking to Mia.
Emma: This is our last full month of school...
Mia: Hold on, Emma. (pumping arms in circular motion in front of her chest) Oh yeah, Uh, huh, Oh yeah.
