Conversations With Emily

We were eating dinner last night when Em told us she had to go to the bathroom.  Shawn told her that her green beans would be waiting for her once she was done.  Here's our conversation upon her returning from the bathroom.

Em: "These don't taste very good." (as she's holding up a green bean)

Em: "I think it's because I just washed my hands." (she was using her hands to eat them)

Shawn: "So having clean hands made them taste bad?  Did you not get all the soap off?"

Shawn: "Maybe you should use your fork instead of your hands then."

Em: "Nope, this isn't working either.  They still taste bad." (she's picking them up and putting them on the fork)

 

As I'm doing dishes I look over and notice that she's now eating some more of her grilled cheese.

 

Me: "So does your grilled cheese taste bad too?"

Em: "No, it tastes good."

Me: "Hmm, guess the clean hands aren't the problem then."

Shawn: "Seems like you need a better excuse now, Em."
