And I Quote

While driving yesterday....

Eme:  "Grace, you didn't know me while God was making me.  You didn't know me til after he made me".
Grace:  (Grunt)
Eme:  "Mommy?  Did you know me while God was making me?"
Me:  "I did...in a way."
Eme:  "Mommy?"
Me:  "Yes, Em."
Eme:  "How did God make me?"
Me:  "Nobody knows that for sure, Boo...it's his own kind of magic."
Eme:  ........(long pause)......"Mommy...it's not magic really....he just painted me and 'poof', here I am."

Love this age.

Eme: "Oh Mommy, what's that? Are you hurt poor baby?" (pointing at a scratch on my foot)


Me: "Just a scratch, Em. It's okay."
Eme: "I think you're getting old, Mom."
Me: "Yeah, I suppose."
Eme: "I'm going to miss you when you die."
Me:   Pause.  "Em, I'm not going to die anytime soon."
Eme:  (arms flung around me) "Oh, but you are because you are old and I will just miss you so."
Me:  Silence (does she know something I don't?!) ;)

This kid..,,she makes me smile....they just don't make 'em like her every day. :) :)
