Me: I'm going to take a shower
Emilia: Why??
Me: 'Cause it's been awhile and I'm kinda stinky.
Emilia comes up to me and sniffs my shirt.
Emilia: You're not stinky! You smell like coffee.
I take my shower and come back out. She looks at the boys and says with, in a slightly ticked off sort of way,
Emilia: Mommy took a shower. Now she doesn't smell like coffee.
Me: Is that a bad thing?
Emilia: Yes!
Me: Maybe I should just shower in coffee next time.
Emilia: Ok.

Emilia started playing soccer last weekend. It was kind of a rough start, but once we got a few details worked out, all was good. While we were getting ready to go, though, this was the conversation.
Me: You're almost ready to go. You're gonna be awesome!
Emilia: Yeah, I'm perf-norm-ick.
Me: Perfnormic? What's that mean?
Emilia: It's like being good, only better.
About 30 minutes later...
Me: What was that word of yours that means better than good?
Emilia: I don't remember. What was it?
Me: I don't know, that's why I asked you. I loved the word and I'm trying to remember it.
Emilia: Hmmmm...I don't know. Can't remember.
We think.
Me: Perfnormic!
Emilia: Yes! That's it! Now don't forget it, mommy.
