Say what?

I recently went looking for Emma, only to find that she had locked herself in my bathroom. Usually when the girls do this it means they have located the Barbie band-aids and are applying them all over the body like tatoos.

"Emma" I said, "Open the door."

I hear the patter of little feet and the sound of the door unlocking. Emma is standing there looking a little sheepish. There are no barbie band-aids in sight.

"Emma, what were you doing?" I ask.

"Ummmm.... "

"Emma, tell the truth. What were you doing?"

"But Daddy, I think you will get mad at me."

"Emma, I won't get mad if you just tell me what you were doing."

...short pause...

"I was howling like a wolf."

Ok, that's not the answer I was expecting. I ask her to show me what she meant, and she climbed up onto the toilet, opened the small window behind the toilet, leaned up to the screen and....

"AAAWWOOOOOO!!!!!!"

No. I wasn't mad.
