Day 1418 - Birthday Faux Pas

During yesterday's birthday party, there was an awkward moment.  Lisa's cousin, Jamie, was there with her friend, Lauren.  Lauren had one of Emma's princess dolls and put it on her knee.

"Emmaaaaa," Lauren said as if the princess was speaking.  "Emmaaaaa!"

Emma started to look around and seemed confused.  The entire family played it up and asked Emma who was speaking.  Emma started to realize this was a lame toddler game, and agreed to play along.

"I dunno who is saying that," shrugged Emma.

"Emmaaaaa," continued Lauren with what I hope was a Cinderella impression.

"Is Grandma Ichinaga saying that?" Lisa asked.

"Noooooo," answered Emma.

"Is Jamie saying that?" Lisa asked again.

"No.  I don't think so!" smiled Emma.

"Emmmaaaaaaaaa," said Lauren with a smirk.

"Who do you think is saying that then?" inquired Lisa.

Emma looked around the room, pointed at Lauren, and said, "The big one there."

ACK!  AWKWARD SILENCE!  EYES AVERTING!  UNCOMFORTABLE, DRY WHISTLING.  PICK UP EMMA AND WALK HER OUT THE ROOM!
