The Jones family: Conversations with Emily

Me: Em, lets talk about Christmas...what kind of things would you like this year?

Em: oh (short pause)...An American Quarter Horse.

Me: Same as last year Em, we can't get a horse right now...what are some other things?

Em: Well, I've been thinking mom, all I want is an old halter from Blitzen. You know, just an old one that maybe he isn't using right now.

Me: Thats all? Isn't there something that maybe they sell at Target?

Em: No, that pretty much is it.

So part of me is loving the simplicity of this child and the other part of me is wondering where she come up with these things....

oh, and another part of me is wondering how Santa will fulfill this wish.

Funny things

6/?- Emily is sure of one thing: she is going to own a red Ford truck with a 4 wheeler to put in the back. It has to be an F150 and have the Ford logo in the center of the tailgate. She is so fascinated with it that her new favorite color is "Ford red".
