Little Ms. Brown lost her first baby tooth today. Congrats, and tell that tooth fairy to pony up.

My daughter is fond of writing the tooth fairy notes asking her not to take the tooth, but she'd appreciate the money all the same.
BTW - the wife and I have been discussing the possibility of pregnancy. She has informed me, tonight, that if it were to happen and if we were to have girl, her name choices have been narrowed down to "Olivia" or "Emma."

There's already one Emma, (actually 2) in my life, and I don't like Olivia. Please try again.

You're going to have to summon your male sperm. As for Emma, that's pretty early to lose a tooth. Impressive.

I remember when we picked Emma, not only did we have what we thought was a beautiful name, it was also "old-fashioned" and not "out there in the populace." But then, woe is us, that tramp from "Friends" had her baby on the show, and named it Emma. Friggin' wonderful!
So of course all the girls who watched Friends week to week sipping coffee out of Central Perk mugs at home while dabbing tears with a hanky cause Ross stubbed a toe were out there meeting guys at poetry slams and banging them so they could have their own girls to name Emma.

I have an Aunt Emma, but she's in her 80's if she's still alive.

Could be worse. My buddy wanted to go with a name that wasn't so common for his son, so he chose Eil. Two months later, the Giants made the trade on draft day for Eli Manning. He's a Giants fan and, until last year's playoffs, hated Eli. And how many kids in NJ are being named Eli now?

And the one next to it is now loose as well. Although that could be because I was wreslting with her and accidentally kicked her in the head.... She started getting her teeth at three months so they say the earlier you get them the earlier they fall out.
I already have a name picked out if I ever have another daughter. But I have a back-up in case anyone steals it. I also have narrowed my middle name of choice for a son down to 2 names since I ain't allowed to pick the first name.

I was sitting in a donut shop with my boy (3 yrs old) early in the morning, amongst a bunch of Mexican day laborers conversing across the room in Spanish.
My son looks at me and proclaims, "Daddy, I know how to talk regular.....not like them."

How bout this one. We were in Taco Bell one time and my daughter says, "look at that black guy." I almost fell down, but then noticed she was pointing at a lifesize cardboard figure of the black-clad Spiderman, around the time that movie came out.
Then there was the time she asked a fat lady in line behind us in the supermarket, "are you going to eat all that?" as she pointed inside her cart.

Not my kid, but your story reminded me of this....
One time, many years ago, while at Disneyland, I spotted an extremely obese couple sitting at a patio table loaded up with drinks, fries, corndogs, deserts.....their own personal buffet of crap.
Their young kid (maybe 6-8 yrs old) was "normal sized" and he was antsy, bouncing around the table whining and complaining and finally mustered up the courage to confront his whale-sized parents, "Why do we keep wasting time eating all day?" To this, Mrs. Jumbo snapped back, "DON'T YOU TALK TO ME AND YOUR FATHER THAT WAY. IF YOU DON'T BEHAVE WE'LL LEAVE!!!" Then the kid started crying.
I sympathized with the kid.

Funny part is, my boy is exactly 1/4 Mexican (his mom is 1/2).

Emma thinks she can speak Spanish because of Dora the Explorer. I remember one day when she was maybe three at most she told me she was only going to answer me if I spoke to her in Spanish. So I said something to her in Spanish and she had no clue what I said. That ended that.

Did she at least respond with "Que?"

On the name topic, when Emma was the baby born on Friends, Ella was the baby born on ER.
At present, my children are wrestling in the bathtub.

When I was growing up there was an Aunt Jemima lookalike next door named Ella. Sweet lady. At present, my children are wrestling in the bathtub. Quick! Run the faucet!

I also remember our nice neighbors Ella and her husband Earl. My favorite story about them was when we were kids, Tom got one of those styrofoam airplanes from the store that you had to put together. It was one of the larger ones, about a foot or so long. On it's maiden flight, the plane flew gracefully across the yard, over the fence and landed on Ella's driveway at the exact moment Earl was pulling up in his big 70's style van. The plane came to a stop right under the front wheel and was unsalvageable.

Who threw it? If it was you, you owe me a plane.

Considering that it was YOUR plane and he said it was the plane's maiden flight I would assume you threw it. It seems out of character for you to let someone else fly your plane before you do.

My son also asked me to buy him some carrots to snack on this past weekend. I did, and when I took some out to give them to him he informed me that, "rats and bunnies eat these."

This weekend my 3 year old son dropped a "See Ya Wouldn't Wanna Be Ya" on me.
Me and my daughter played handball (not Mexican jailhouse handball with the little black rubber ball....schoolyard handball with the big red rubber ball that you hit, on a bounce, against a wall) against the garage door today. I hadn't played that in years, but we eventually got bored and I schooled my daughter in one of my old schoolyard favorites that we used to get scolded by the faculty for - Butt's Up.
Anyone familiar with this game?
