Emily-isms

This week, Emily referred to the basket in which one tosses dirty laundry as a "hamster."  When I said, "Do you mean 'hamper?'" Emily replied, "whatever."

She later said that our neighbor's dog Callie is a cute little Pluto.  "Poodle, you mean?" I asked Emily. Again, Emily's response: "whatever."

Incidentally, Sadie said she wanted to play with her "titters" this morning. She meant "sisters."
