Very, Very, Very Loud

Setting: The family of four is finishing dinner. Max is reenacting The Nutcracker that he just saw at school today. A discussion of volume ensues.

Max: "Loud is forte. And soft is..."
Mom: "Piano. And really soft is pianissimo."
Max: "And really loud is fortissimo."
Mom: "That's right."
Max: "And really, really, really, really loud is Maxwell!"
