Philosophy 101
Setting: Mom walks into the family room and watches as Max brings a small table to a small chair he's set up in the corner. Max sings to himself the theme from Wallace and Grommet.
Mom: Hey, Max. Whatcha doing?
Max: I'm getting a table for Wallace. (pause)
Max: I'm pretending to have an imaginary friend.
Just ponder that for awhile....

Extracting Sympathy & More
Setting: It is an unseasonably warm and muggy day. Max and Em are walking back home from school with Dad. They decide to go say hi to the neighbors (Mr. & Mrs. D.) who are standing outside their garage. Max walks up to Mr. D.
Max: "I am so hot. Do you have something that can cool me off?"
Note: Max and Em both know that this particular neighbor has a refrigerator/freezer in their garage with all kinds of good stuff. Lemon Ice happened to be the choice on this particular occasion.

Max: "Aaaahhh, such great memories!"
