Ian and I were sitting in the kitchen talking over a drink when Leah yells from the living room, "Dad, do you have any more picks I could borrow?"
Ian retorted with, "I don't have any picks you have borrowed them all"
To which Emma, who is never far from her dada when he is home, almost jumps out of her skin with excitement and places both hands over her mouth before the words burst through, "WE GOT YOU SOMETHING SO SPECIAL TODAY!!!!" "You are going to love it soooo much"
Ian taking it all in stride quickly responds to Emma's outburst of delight with, "Is it something that is better than a pick?"
Ummm no, said Emma
Is it worst than a pick? Ian was quick to follow
Ummm no. said Emma deep in thought
Well is it like a pick?
Emma all smiles and bubbling with her surprise for her dada, Yeah it is just like a pick!!!
Leah from the living room hollers her way back into the conversation, "MOm how much did you pay for those picks today?"
To which Emma quickly responded to with horrific disappointment, "LEAH you ruined dad's surprise!!"
MY conversation with Emma
Today is the last day of this year, do you know what that means?
That it is almost Easter?!
No, today is the last day of 2012 and tomorrow is going to be 2013 so do you know what that means?
That it is almost Easter!!!
