Chatty Patty

A Constant Din*

I’m not sure where she gets it from but Emma talks more than any person I know. She is pretty much non stop from the time she gets home from school until she goes to bed. The only time in the evening when there is nothing coming out of her mouth is when there is something going in; namely dessert. It was actually pretty strange and I had to look up to make sure she wasn’t in some kind of trouble last night. I guess the peanut butter fingers were better than talking.
What does she talk about? I really have no idea, it just a constant “blah blah blah.” She’s not like this when she’s around other people, just at home. So maybe she just wants to make up for lost time but she goes 100 miles an hour until her head hits the pillow.

*din - a loud continued noise; especially : a welter of discordant sounds

EDIT **
I was watching the baseball game tonight and a Volvo commercial came on that pretty much hits the Emma talking nail on the head.

A man is picking his daughter up from school and she is talking about bugs or something and going through the whole story while the dad tries to get her in the car. The look on his face is exactly the glazed over look that goes on around here. Don't get me wrong, the stuff Emma comes up with is rather funny but... it just goes on, and on, and on. ;-)
