>> [APPLAUSE].
>> At just three years old, our next guest is a gymnastics prodigy who already has
over 50,000 followers on Instagram. From El Paso, Texas,
please welcome Emma and her mom, Annie. So, hi, Emma,
you're three years old, right? >> Yep. >> And,
when did you start doing gymnastics? >> When I was two and a half. >> When you were two and a half? So really, just six months ago,
you started. Anyway. >> [LAUGH]
>> How did she get started so early? >> She was incredibly clumsy and I was
hoping that gymnastics would help with it. They said that she has a talent for
it and they started moving her up and we've been going strong for a while now. >> Have you or your husband done
gymnastics done gymnastics? >> No. >> No one in the family? >> No. >> Look at those muscles,
you're very, very strong, aren't you? 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. >> If I would've said gymnast,
you would've known what I was saying, 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. >> She did win a gold medal. 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. >> He's in Korea,
he's in the Army, is that right? >> Yes. >> How long is he there? >> He's gonna be there for a year. >> A year?
>> Yes. >> Do they get to talk and
see each other, FaceTime? >> Yeah, she gets to FaceTime him now. The first week or so we didn't, but
now we get to talk to him all the time. >> Uh-huh. 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. [LAUGH]
>> Aw, that is really sweet. Okay, there's so many things over here. You're gonna perform for us, right Emma? >> Right. >> Here we go, let's go. >> [APPLAUSE] >> [APPLAUSE] >> Wow. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Let's go this way. >> Wow. That's certainly not clumsy, is it? >> [LAUGH]
>> Can you try your press handstand? Can you go all the way up? Okay. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Wow! >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Do you want to show your kick over? Can you show your kick over? Okay, sit down. Okay. >> [APPLAUSE]. >> Wow! >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Do you wanna show your favorite skill? [INAUDIBLE] Let's do your favorite. Okay. Can you do your special split? Okay. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Can you do your? >> [APPLAUSE] >> [LAUGH] >> Wow. >> [LAUGH] >> [APPLAUSE]
>> You wanna show your backhand spring now? Can you go all the way over there? How many you gonna show? >> Three. >> Okay.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Yay! >> I'm so proud of you! >> Let's go down here cuz I
have a little surprise for you. >> Okay. >> Let's come down here. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> First of all, that was so good, that was so,
I can't believe how good you are. Okay, so you have your kiss jar
from your daddy everyday, right? Okay, if you want more than that,
I got you something. >> [LAUGH]
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Ellen hugs. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> That's a lot of kisses. >> It's kisses. And then with your daddy's kisses,
you get an Ellen hug every single day. >> Aw, can you tell her thank you and
give her a hug? >> Thank you. >> Your welcome.
The little girl probably thought that all those extra kisses were more days that her daddy would be gone...she was thinking fuck you ellen
This is impressive but slightly uncanny valley.... three year olds doing that looks very odd.
So give the promising young athlete twice her body weight in candy. Solid plan. *lol*
