My favorite creature

Setting: Mom and Max are discussing Sunday School.
Max: "God made the whole world. He made all the stars, and the earth, and all the animals. He made all the creatures like my favorite creature, a mouse. Maisy is a mouse."

Note: Maisy is Max's #1 stuffed animal.

I didn't say thank you.

Note: Whenever the word bath is mentioned, Emma insists that Dad is the one to wash her hair.
Setting: Emma enters the kitchen on Sunday morning and tells Mom the following.
Emma: "Dad washed my hair last night and I didn't say thank you."

California

Setting: Max is at the kitchen table preparing to eat breakfast. A pealed whole banana sits on the plate before him. He is poised to use his plastic yellow Chiquita banana slicer on the banana. Max holds up the banana slicer.
Max: "Look Mom, it's California!"

Note: a picture will be added for those who are unfamiliar.

Healthy Food

Special Note: The following entry is not for those with sensitivies to hearing somewhat distasteful things.
Setting: Mom and Max are in the silver car doing some errands. Mom spies Max picking his nose and putting his finger in his mouth.
Mom: "Max, please don't pick your nose. That's not socially acceptable."
Max: "Yeah, I know. I need to eat healthy food."

Best Mom in the World

Max: "Mom, you're the Best Mom in the World."
Pause
Max: "Mom, are you the Best Mom in the World?"

Like

Setting: Max woke up but wasn't quite ready to face the day this morning. He sat down on the top step and called for Mom. Shortly after that Emma came out of her bedroom and the following ensued.
Max: "Mom! Emma doesn't like me!!"
Mom: "Oh Max, I think Emma likes you. Emma do you like Max?"
Emma: Nods her head yes.
Mom: "See Max, Emma likes you."
Max: "But I don't want Emma to like me!!!"
Setting: Mom looks up at Emma at that moment. Emma is swinging Bear (her lamb blanket) back and forth.
Emma: "Look Bear is swimming!!"
Note: We don't try to interpret all of these, we just try to share.

Raarring

Setting: Max and Emma eating breakfast at opposite ends of the kitchen table.
Emma: "Raaarrr!! Raaaarr!!" (to be interpreted as Roar)
Emma: "Max! I'm raarring you!!"

Cracked up

Setting: Mom and Max are being silly and staring each other in the eye (about 2 inches apart).
Max: "I crack myself up!!"

From California

Setting: (this is posted a week late) Mom returned from California after bedtime on Friday night. Because it was Dad's birthday on Friday, she bought Pop Tarts (family tradition) for Saturday's breakfast. Because Max probably would not eat Pop Tarts, she bought a box of Froot Loops too. Saturday morning Max and Mom walk into the kitchen.
Max: "Look! Dad bought Froot Loops!"
Mom: "No Max, Mom bought the Froot Loops."
Setting: Max pauses for a moment
Max: "Mom, did you bring those from California?"
