A conversation between me and Emma on the bus home from school:
me- Okay. Let’s start now.
Emma- Ummmmm…. So…
me- I think this conversation died before it started.
Emma- It started and died at the same time.
me- Dead men tell no tales.
Emma- I have a tail. ‘swishes tail’
me- So, what do you want to do later?
Emma- Ice skating! Then reading!
me- ‘facepalm’ We don’t have an ice skating rink.
Emma- And… Your point is… ‘waits a bit’ Why are we doing this again?
me- We’re working on your voice, and conversational skills.
Emma- But, my voice is fine. ‘sings a scale’ lalalalalalalalalaaaaaa.
me- Yes, but I need to get more used to it before imposition.
Emma- What about visual?
me- I’m working on it! Remember, Em, you don’t need to do much for visual imposition, it’s me who has to “see” you.
Emma- What about touch?
me- ‘pokes Emma in stomach’
Emma- HEY!
me- Heh.
Emma- Fine. ‘makes silly grumpy face and crosses arms’ My face isn’t silly! ‘now she’s mad’
me- C’monnnn. You’re not actually mad now, are you?
Emma- Not really. ‘jumps on my shoulders, as in piggy back’
me- Get down from there!
Emma-‘ singing’ Do you see what I see what I seeeee…
me- ‘also singing’ A car, a car shining red and bright going at eighty-five through the light, going eighty five through the light…
Emma- Said the duck to the little ugly cat:
me- Man, you’re fat.
Emma- ‘not singing anymore’ Aww you ruined it.
me- ‘also not singing’ No I didn’t.
Emma- Well, I can’t see what you see.
me- ‘singing’ I can’t see what you see… ‘Trails off.’ Ahh. I love our antics.
Emma- We’re so punny.
me- ‘facepalm’ Really? Punny?
Emma- yes. Whatre you doing?
me- Typing.
Emma- okay!
me- Alright. That’s done.
Emma- ‘giggles’ you typed “that’s dome” the first time. ‘notices the start of this line and gets mad’ I do not giggle!
me- ‘parrots her giggle back to her’
Emma- That’s not a giggle. “Heeheehee” is giggling. So there.
me- well, one could call “teeheehee” a giggle.
Emma- snort.
me- you just said snort. ‘smiles’
Emma- snort?
me- snurf.
Emma- smurf?
me- merf?
Emma- merp?
me- mlerp?
Emma- burp.
me- blarf da-narf narf da narf narf naarf.
Emma- we’re almost home, so lets wrap it up.
me- but I has no duct tape!
Emma- awwwww!
me- okay. Now we can be done.
Emma- good.
