"Mine!"

Okay, which one of you taught Emily to say "mine"? I know I didn't do it. Everything is "MY!"

Me: "Emily, give me that balloon before you bite on it and it pops and you choke on it."
Emily: (yelling over her shoulder as she runs away) "MY!"

Hmmm. Well, since everything is yours, little girl, pick up that poop that you left on the floor while you were streaking through the house with your naked little bottom flashing for the whole house (actually, just me) to see. It surely isn't "MY!" poop. Pick up your messy room, too. None of those millions of toys are "MY!" either. BUT, the tripod is "MY!", the camera with the lens worth more than the camera itself is "MY!" The leftover remnants of crackers that have been crumbled and pulverized into the carpet, not "MY!"
