A Final Round of Emmettisms

For quite some time now, I have been collecting funny comments that Emmett has made over the past several months since the last time I wrote one of these blog posts. I decided that today is the day to finally record what I think will be his last round of Emmettisms.  He is such a silly guy and just says the funniest things all of the time.  Here are the highlights from the past several months of his life...

1. Last summer when we were outside, he pointed to the pool filter and said, "That's a pool filter.  I learned it when I was older and my name was Jeffis."

2.  When Emmett was running to Poppy's and Daisy's house next door, he yelled to Ella, "Follow me!  I know the way!"

3.  After going to his annual, photo shoot at JC Penney, he was telling Ella about the experience and said, "I looked cute in my pictures.  And I got a new picture teacher (aka photographer)."

4.  After putting him in the cart at the beginning of grocery shopping, Emmett asked me, "Are you going to bury me up?"  He was referring to the times when I fill up the cart so high with food that I have to put it all around him.

5.  After I said, "That's Nuts!" to something, Emmett looked at me and said, "Like Logan's private parts!"

6.  Emmett looked at a fried egg one morning at breakfast and called it a "flat egg."  Needless to say, we have used that term for a fried egg ever since.

7.  While driving in the car, I asked Emmett if he saw something outside the window.  He responded, "I didn't see it because I was poking my wee wee up."  After I asked him why he was doing that, he replied, "I was giving it some exercise." 

8.  One time while sitting at the kitchen table, Emmett said to me, "I don't want to talk right now because my hip hurts."  After I asked him why it hurts, he said, "Because there is an itch on it." (Emmett must have thought of the idea of his hip hurting from the fact that this has been Lia's biggest injury while running XC this school year).

9.  After having a big sneeze, Emmett remarked, "Woah, that was a sneezy sneeze.  I felt that in my stomach."

10.  After complementing Emmett on what a good soccer player he is, he confidently said, "I was born to play soccer."

11.  While waiting for the doctor to come into the exam room for his annual check-up, Emmett asked me, "What are we going to do with my body?"

12.  Out of the blue, Emmett asked me how old my siblings are because "I forgot to ask them this morning."

13.  After Emmett beat me in a game (Memory) for the very first time, he proudly announced, "This is my first time beating a parent people."

14.  While eating a lunch that was really hot, Emmett said, "Wow, that burns my lungs."

15.  After talking about someone who had just retired, Emmett responded, "Oh, so he's retired.  So he can be fun again."

16.  While picking up Lia after theater practice last week, Emmett told the music director, Nick, that it was his birthday.  After Nick wished him a "Happy Birthday," Emmett said to him, "Actually, I turned four this morning when I ate my waffles."
