This is an excerpt from a conversation that Emma and I had in the car on the way home today.
We just passed a homeless man on the street corner...
Me-"He doesn't have a home..."
Emma- "Where does he sleep?"
Me- "I don't know...we can help him by giving him some food to eat."
Emma- "We could bring him home and keep him."
Me- "Don't you think it would be good to give him some food?" (do you hear me trying to redirect at this point???)
Emma- "I know!!! We can put some food outside and he will smell it and come to live at our house"
The conversation did continue but at this point all I could think about was that Emma NEEDS a DOG!

That is hysterical!!! She has a good heart=) Sweet baby!
Just as long as she doesn't try to put a leash on him...he may not like that very much :) Too Funny!!!
Haha This made me laugh out loud! The perspective of a child... her longings and dreams are obvious. :)
