"E.J. Discher"

As her grandmother fondly calls her!

Just thought I'd post of couple of Emma's latest...

Documented by Kitty, the journalist - can you tell? :) 

Emma was asked to give the prayer before supper. At the end of her unusually short prayer (they are often quite extensive) we all perked up our ears a bit when we heard, “…and pwease hewp ouw styoyers. Amen” We all questioned, “Strollers? Did you say strollers, Emma? (we have 2 strollers – one full sized and one for Emma’s baby-dolls)” and Em nodded sagely and went on with her life. I went up to her and asked, “Emma, is there something wrong with our strollers?”

            “Yes.” Emma looked up at me with a very serious expression (which is hard to take seriously, since she looks at you with one eye crossed)

            “Well, what’s wrong with them?”

                “She got a concerned expression on her face, and said sadly, “My styoyer has pyabyems (problems)!” and hung her head a tad little bit and walked away slowly. I don’t know if the body language was real or if she was putting no an act to go with her concern, but it was hilarious!

Here's another one... 

 Emma was having fun building fences and stairs out of Lincoln logs. Mama commented to Markie “She’s using her brain!” Emma heard, and said “Yes. I am using my brain. She can use my brain!” Mama says “Markie can use your brain?!?” Emma- “Yes. Markie can use my brain. I love her!”
