Bossy McBossypants

Excerpts from real conversations I had with Emma today.

E. Eat! Eat! Steffi! Feed Emma!
S. Goodness, you're very bossy, Emma.
E. Busy! No, Steffi. You're busy! Feed Emma!
S. Bossy, Emma.
E. Busy, Steffi!

-----

E. New shoes, Steffi! Emma has new shoes!
S. I love them, Emma! They're very sweet.
E. These MY shoes! These EMMA'S shoes, Steffi! No touch!

-----

E. Jump with Emma, Steffi!
S. Okay.
E. No! Up HERE, Steffi! Jump with Emma!
(jumping ensues)
E. Jump again, Steffi!

-----

S. Emma, do you want to go take a bath?
E. No, Steffi. Emma is coloring. This time for coloring.
S. Are you sure? You have to have a bath today.
E. Bath later! Emma's coloring!

-----

E. Steffi! Put Daisy outside!
(I do so)
E. Put Daisy outside!
S. Daisy is outside, Emma.
E. Leave the door open, Steffi!
(five minutes later, Emma demanded I shut the door)

-----

(Emma's mother walks in the door)
E. Bye, Steffi! Bye!!
