A Morning with Emma and Addisyn
I hardly ever share things about my kids so on this post I would like to share a email that my wife Lacey sent me this morning. It’s a conversation that she had on the way taking my two girls Emma and Addisyn to school. When she sent it to me I laughed until I cried, and maybe it’s just one of those things that only the parents get. Who knows?
The Email goes as follows………..
This morning Staclynn made a comment to Emma saying “you are getting so tall…are you going to be a basketball player?”
Addisyn joined in saying “I am”…and that’s all that was said until…….
In my car on the way to school…
Emma: Mommy where is the rocker one? (that’s what she calls one of the songs on the new Lady Antebellum CD)
Addi: He ran away (talking about our sister Natasha’s cat Rocket)
Emma: No I asked mommy where was the rocker one (back to the song)
Addi: I said he ran away!
Addi: mommy am I going to play basketball with Daddy?
Lacey: no baby that is not what daddy said
Emma: Momma, where is the rocker one, I want it (still the song)
Addi: HE RAN AWAY!! Mommy do I get to play basket ball with daddy?
Lacey: no baby, we don’t have a basketball.
Later,
Addi: ooh it stinks
Lacey: what stinks, what do you smell (seriously there was nothing)
Emma: it is Burger King (there is no Burger King around and we never eat there)
Addi: no Emma it is green beans!
So we get to school and walk in Addisyn’s class room and she tells her teacher: I am going to play basketball with my daddy!!!
Does anyone have a basketball we can borrow…?
My car rides are so entertaining in the mornings.
I would love to hear any stories from your kids or grandkids like this. I’m so amused by these stories and again maybe it’s just the dad in me. I would also like to give kudos to Lacey for remembering this converstion so well.

I love this little conversation. It reminds me of some of the conversations that me and my youngest son have had. One was when he was potty training and had a pull-up on. I was sitting in the back room on the computer when he came to me without the pull-up on. He said “I Pee in tree.” I thought he has peed in the Christmas tree. When I got in the living room where the tree was I found the pull-up under the tree. I ask if he peed in mommy’s Christmas tree and he said “no!” I got the pull-up and noticed that he actually used the pull-up. I was relieved that he did not pee in my tree and very proud that he came and told me. He is now 10 years old. When we go over some of the things he said growing up we get a big laugh and grow closer and closer everyday. God Bless you and your family and hope you enjoy this conversation of me and my son.

Kristy, that’s so funny! Lacey has written down a few words that Emma always messes up and it’s so funny to hear Addi mess up the same words just because she heard it that way from Emma. Thanks for the story.
I have to share this one..Staclynn was about 3..We had been teaching our children they should NEVER play with matches and especially never Strike them. One evening we were traveling and it was thundering and lightening was flashing. Staclynn spoke: Mom is God playing with Matches? Is he striking them? I told him no. I explained about the lightening and stated the thunder was the voice of the lord.
He then ask…If that is the Lords voice..what is he saying? I can’t understand his words..
Stac is now laughing over stories of his own children..I do know the Joy that is felt when sharing stories about your children..Mom
That’s funny mom, I remember that conversation.
