Vocab test. See if you can determine which definition is Emma's:

1. Craps

a. What people do on the potty

E. Making projects (As in "arts and craps")

E. The undergarment Mommy wears over her chest/breast region

5. Lello

7. Fink

10. Yesternight

a. Four score and seven years ago
b. A Weird Al version of the Beatles "Yesterday" song
E. Last night ("Can we read the same bedtime story we read yesternight?")

You can choose the definition you like best. However, all of the "E for Emma" answers are the latest definitions at our house.

In addition, two recent Emmaisms that made me giggle:

Yesterday enroute to her MyGym class the Fray song "How to Save a Life" came on the radio. Emma enthusiastically told me that they play the song at her gym. She then began singing along...stating "how to say good night" instead of "how to save a life." Heehee!

This morning when DH was helping Em pull her PJ top off, "You forgot to unbutton it, you're gonna break my head off!" Ironically, he had unbuttoned it. And no...her head did not fall off.

This post was brought to you by the letter E and the number 4.
