funnies...

The family was walking home from Auntie Dawn's house yesterday, and as usual, Ry and Avery were way out front, Gabe somewhere in the middle, and Emma and I wayyyyyyy behind.

When we made it to the door, Emma was again informed that she was 'last place'. She was quite upset and I told her that when we had a new baby, she wouldn't always be last anymore. Then I said 'besides, I was really last, because I wanted to walk with my special Emma.'

She said 'Yeah, that's your job!'

I asked her what exactly my job was and she said " picking up things, doing dishes, washing windows...."

What a flashback to Avery's description of what a 'mommy's' job was, when she was only 3!!!

As a post script to the above story, I was just publishing this post and Emma came down the stairs and I grabbed her in a big hug and said "OOHHHH, I am so glad I am your mommy!!"

She said, "Yah, cause you have to do the job!!"

Anyway, I think I've seen this before, but found it on my good friend Tamara's blog this morning and was literally trying not to spit out my coffee cause I was laughing so hard!! Enjoy!!!
