On Being Busy

Max (upon my entering daycare and seeing Max on a play cell phone): "No! I can't leave now mommy! I'm on the phone!"

_________________________________________________________________________________

Me: "Max, can you please give Brooklyn a toy to play with?"
Max (surrounded by his construction toy trucks and diggers): "I can't right now, I'm busy working"

OR

Max: "I have to go to the bathroom and then get right back to work!"
Max (after having gone to the bathroom): "Mommy, why do I go right back to work?"
Me: "Because you are a good worker Max!"
