She came into the house after her basketball practice carrying her new gym bag from Santa and her sister's boyfriend said, "Hey, I was there when your mom bought that bag." Elbow from sister. Heidi replied, "But, Santa brought me this bag..." Connection made, Santa dead. Way to go, Dad. However, I think it is best that you don't let Emma get too old. 8th grade was pushing it.ericahttp://www.touchofembellishment.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3845565742716684094.post-51209469128865918752012-01-26T06:30:28.684-08:002012-01-26T06:30:28.684-08:00It made me laugh too.

I keep waiting for her to say "I grow tired of this" again, but she hasn't yet. It'll make me laugh the next time too.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11538573774184028004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3845565742716684094.post-50585869357197318022012-01-26T06:29:15.450-08:002012-01-26T06:29:15.450-08:00She busted me on the tooth fairy already.

Do they even have Brownies in the US? Maybe just Girl Scouts points. In that case, you have to buy several boxes of Girl Scout cookies and let Emma eat them in front of you.Spectrummy Mummyhttp://spectrummymummy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3845565742716684094.post-18972023568149165142012-01-16T20:48:55.212-08:002012-01-16T20:48:55.212-08:00WHAT???
