Let’s just hope Lexi’s teacher never reads this.
Emma: That Elmo at the party was FAKE! (I didn’t even realize she knew what that meant)
Me: Yes, it was just someone dressed up as Elmo but it looked like Elmo didn’t it?
Emma: No! It was FAKE!
Me: OK, I guess it was fake.
Lexi (sounding authoritative): Mrs. B is FAT!
I couldn’t help but crack up.
Me: We’re saying FAKE not FAT. And Mrs. B is NOT fat and it’s not nice to tell people that are fat. Don’t ever tell Mrs. B she is fat. Because she’s not.
Lexi: I say Mrs. B is fat.
Emma: You need to write this one down. Are you writing this one down?
