Clara-and-Emma-isms

Recent funny conversations with Clara & Emma Lou:


Emma, determined to do something hardcore:
Emma: I gonna swim, I gonna jump, I gonna play ALL DAY.
Clara: Sure, Emma. How about you just sit instead?
Emma: Okayyyyy. I gonna sit HARD.


On the way home from school one afternoon:
Em: At school, at school, at school, I jumped! Jumped high. And, uh, and, and I jumped and hit my head like this *whack*, like this! And, and I jumped on the, uh, the cot, and jumped on the cot and hit my head and it, it HUWT!
CB: Emma, just SAY it already; did you break your head or not?!
Em: Yep. It all broke.


On our first homeschool day following Thanksgiving Break:
Clara: We didn't cut all Thanksgiving, so my scissors are REALLY hungry for paper.


Clara, as she tries to discover what's going on with the whole Christmas Story:
Clara: Mommy, why do the Wise Men wear dresses?
Me: Well, they wear robes. It was traditional clothes for the time.
Clara: Doesn't seem wise to forget your pants.

Clara's Christmas Story at Church

I've been truly terrible about updating my blog lately (sorry), but I did want to attach the link to the Christmas Story Clara was in at our church. She's only in two songs (she's the youngest member of the entire Children's Choir), but she did a great job :)
