Weirdness from last night

Emma wanted to change her undies.  That's a new excitement 'round these parts. She's got Blue's Clues, Dora, ugly old padded gerber pants, and Elmo to choose from.  Sometimes, she just.can'tdecide, so she wears three or four at once.

So, she sat down to change, and instructed me, "Don't look at my penis."

Excuse me?  Um, last time I checked, she was female.  "Emma, no penis.  Boys have those, and you aren't a boy."

"I no penis?  I have penis.  Right here.  I a boy with a penis to go pee pee."

"Emma, you don't have that.  You have a vagina, like all girls - remember?"

"I be a girl with a penis."

Whatever.  You can't reason with her.

I tucked Gabe in, tucked Mackenzie in, and tucked Emma in.  It was 7, I had had no sleep the night before, and I was d-e-a-d.  I put a movie on for Nikolas and Allegra (Sky Captain and the world of tomorrow) and went up to rock Riley.  She was just dozing off, and I was fantasizing about my trip to the bed, when Gabriel started screaming.  "Mom!!!  MOM!!!!"

He was loud enough that every tucked in child jumped out of bed, and the two downstairs came running.

"I think my hair is dirty.  Do you think we should wash it tonight?"

I now know why mothers have been known to drink.

I enjoyed a nice glass of tequila and orange juice last night. :)
