The last 2 weeks have been incredibly hectic. It seems like 18 deadlines on cases came due at the exact same time. Since in the last 2 weeks I rarely got home before the kids were in bed, I didn't get a lot of choice Emma-Isms to pass along. Today, though, is a different story.
Emma seems to have a horrible bias against cleaning. I'm 110% sure she got that from me. In her avoidance of cleaning, she got into Krystin's jewelry. As a backstory to what took place this afternoon, this morning Emma was complaining to Krystin saying "It's not fair. I have zero rings and you have a bunch of rings. How come I don't have a bunch of rings?"
Krystin found one of Emma's purses hanging on a random door handle in the hall. As Krystin goes to put the purse away, she finds a little jewelry box inside. The following conversation took place next.
Krystin: What is this in your purse?
Emma: No Mommy! Don't open your Christmas present!
[Krystin opens the box.]
Krystin: These are my rings Emma!
Emma: [Spoken sadly:] I was going to give them to you for Christmas.
So, if you're having trouble deciding what to give someone for Christmas, or it's December 24th and you're in panic mode, take Emma's advice: Give the gift that's already been given. You know they'll love it!
