Conversations With Emily

We were driving home one night and out of the blue comes this conversation:

Em: "Daddy, how did you get Mommy?"

Shawn: "How did I meet Mommy?  I met her through friends."

Em: "What made you pick Mommy?"

Shawn: "Well, she was the most beautiful girl in the room.  I knew the first day I met her that I was going to marry her."

Em: "Will a boy pick me one day."

Me: I had just been listening up to this point, but chimed in here "Of course, 1 day there will be a boy that walks into a room and looks at you and sees the most beautiful girl in the room."

I was getting ready to get in the shower and Em asked me to turn on a show for her.  I turned it to Disney and saw that Monsters, Inc was on, but was about to be over:

Me: "Monsters, Inc is on, but about to be over.  Do you want to watch it?

Em: "Yes."

Me: "Ok, it looks like there is a Star Wars cartoon coming on afterwards."

I walked out of the game room and into my room.  Shawn walked into them game room a few minutes later.

Shawn: "What are you watching Em?"

Em: "Starbucks."

I was trying to get Em to let me take a picture of her one day:

Me: "Em, can I take your picture?"

Em: "No, I don't want to."

Me: "Please, just one."

Em: "I'll make a deal with you.  You can give me candy and I'll take a picture for you."
