Yesterday morning, my mom and Emily and I took Kate and her children out for breakfast. While waiting for our food to arrive, the kids colored. Emily, ever the non-conformist, wasn't interested in coloring on the front of the placemat, she preferred to make her own picture on the back.

Me: "Oh, I'm sure she'll like that."

Em: "Yeah. Does she have straight hair or curly hair?"

Em: "Ok."

She finished drawing and then said, "Here mommy, here's your friend Katey so you never have to remember how she looks like" and handed me this:
