I was cleaning out the car to go see our new cousin this weekend and found this
I have this kid. Sometimes she's silly. Sometimes she's crabby. Usually she's awesome.

March 23, 2104: the battle
E has been trying to convince us to have a real life WoW style battle on this rainy day. I'm the rogue, she and Daddy are both hunters. She only has 2 bows.
E: Daddy just get somewhere safe in the game and then we can start the battle here.
Me: buuuuuuuuurp
*I know, I'm classy, you don't have to tell me.
E: That was a battle of your own intestines.
EDIT:
About 20 minutes after that, I hear Daddy in the kitchen fixing sandwiches. Then I hear the following:
Daddy: Hey, E, come in here
E walks into the kitchen. Then comes a weird clicking sound.
E: You weren't even in this battle!!!
(turns out that he was standing, waiting for her with the nerf crossbow, and she walked into his cleverly devised trap)
I love this family.

Mar 8, 2014: "what's a gay?"
So, now we're watching Dr. Horrible on Netflix. E loves Dr. Horrible, both the show and the character. I explained that the actor is Neil Patrick Harris, and he's married to a handsome man and they have 2 kids who are adorable. She asked how that happens, how 2 men have kids. I said that he's gay and that gay men have to adopt children to have a family generally.
E: what's a gay?
Me: when boys love boys or girls love girls.
E: Well, I'm a gay then. I love YOU, mama.
Me: Well, it's not quite the same.
E: I love G.
Me: yes. That would make you gay if you still loved her forever. And that would be just fine.
E: Okay.
Why do people thinking explaining what "gay" means to their kids is somehow a challenge? It's just all about pointing out that love looks different for everyone sometimes.
PS: she now wants to see pics of NPH and his gorgeous family. Thank you, internet.

March 1, 2014: don't talk teenager
E is watching the Teen Nick Top 10. It's a video countdown. Remember when MTV had music videos on?
Anyway, she's completely enamored with Teen Nick. We've had to occasionally explain that some Teen nick shows are a little grown up for her, but for the most part, she just likes the music.
Anyway, her dad was explaining what a hook is in music. At one point, I told him he is adorable.
He danced over to where E was sitting on the couch and said, "I'm supes adorbs."
E gave him her most condescending look possible and said, "Don't talk teenager if you aren't one."
