From the Mouth of my Perfect Daughter..
Yesterday, Emily was talking about her friend Ben. She's been bugging me about a play date, etc.
So yesterday, we are in the car, on the way back from the gym She starts in about Ben again. At this point, I'm pretty much tuning her out.
Then, she says...
" When me and Ben get married...when we are married..I'm going to remember his name. His name is Ben."
MMMkay. Well, I guess that's settled. Don't you hate it when you can't remember your spouses name? But my Emily...she'll always remember. What a smart girl she is..lol.
OH...and a couple of days ago..we were having dinner with Mike...at a little Thai place..and they were taking FOREVER with our food. Emily is getting a little restless. She's being really good, considering the circumstances..but still..restless. All of the sudden, she says..
" Hey Mommy!! Look at my penis!!"
I choke...I gasp..and I look down. She has her legs apart, with her finger in the ...err...position of a penis? Yeah. Did I mention that Em, like most 4 year olds, yell everything? Yeah.
I tell her..."This is NOT an apropriate place to say these things..I tell her she needs to not talk about stuff like this at a restuarant, because it may offend other people. She was embarassed, and said she was sorry...I told her it was okay, let just not talk about this in public. Where was Mike in all of this, you may ask? Hiding behind his napkin, trying despratley not to roll on the floor in a fit of laughter. Meany. Emily said.."Why is Daddy doing that?" I told her it was because he was so embarassed about it, or something like that. And I have to tell you..it was the hardest thing ever, not just busting up laughing along with Mike. But hey..I'm the Mom..right?
There are so many stories I could tell about Em, and her penis envy...but I'll save some for another day!
Hope you all have a great Thrusday!

Kids that age are hilarious. I love it. My oldest stood up in the middle of a restaurant threw her arms open and declared "I'm famous!" My ex, never one to miss a beat told her "Well, you are now." Everyone cracked up and I to this day don't let her forget how famous she is. hehe.
My friend's son declared in the midst of a bunch of little old ladies waiting in the deli line that his penis was tired and it needed to rest. She wanted to find a hole to crawl into, fortunately the little old ladies were giggling.
How wonderful!! (By "wonderful" I mean not being the parent of the moment but the recipient of the story!!
)
Thank you for the story! Honestly, it's good the food hadn't arrived yet. If Mike is anything like me he would have gotten into Guiness for the "Greatest distance with half chewed food projectile" category. And if his luck is anything like mine it would have hit the woman with whom I had to drive home.
i jsut woke up both of my cats laughing so loud...
thank you for that

That is so incredibly cute... and while funny I understand you're meaning, you gotta be the mom. I know I had a hard time not busting up at her antics the other night LOL
Take care hon and have fun with that little doll of yours!
she is too cute!
hee hee hee Kids say the best things at the best times.
Whenever my 4 yr old son talks about his penis, my 2 year old mentions her vulva. Good thing only mom and dad can understand her most of the time.
oh yea, my son knows who he is going to marry too.
heeheehee
This was HILARIOUS Jen!!! OMG too funny!!
