Very strong, and so who's your favorite gymnastic person?

>> Who's your favorite gymnast?

>> Gabby Douglas, and she won a gold medal at the Olympics.

instead of gymnastic person.

I messed it up.

>> [LAUGH] >> Gabby is amazing,

she's been on the show before, she's really incredible, isn't she?

Why do you like her so much?

>> Cuz, I like her leotard and she won a gold medal at the Olympics.

Yeah, that's really impressive.

What is your favorite thing to do in gymnastics?

>> Bars and my backbends and my back handsprings.

>> Back handsprings?

Wow. >> Yeah.

>> Do you get scared of falling ever, Emma?

>> No, cuz I will get back up.

>> [APPLAUSE] >> That is a wonderful thing to say.

You just get back up when you fall, of course you do.

So, I understand your daddy is, where is your daddy?

>> In Korea.

The first week or so we didn't, but now we get to talk to him all the time.

He did something really sweet when he left.

What did he leave you?

>> A daddy kiss jar.

>> A daddy kiss jar and so there's a kiss for every single day that, so

it's a kiss from your daddy every single day?

>> Mm-hm.

>> That's really sweet.

Do you sometimes steal more kisses than one?

>> No.

>> [LAUGH] >> Not since she got caught.

[LAUGH] >> I see.

I see.

>> She thought if she would steal them,

that the days would go by a little bit faster until he's back.

So she would just sneak them.

But she got caught and she won't do it again.
