On Geography

The very cool thing about having had a winter Olympics and FIFA World Cup all in the same year is that Max has really gained an understanding/concept of the world and the countries around the globe.

Brooklyn: "Avion! Avion!"
Me: "Yes, look an airplane that is heading to the airport"
Max: "No, that airplane isn't landing"
Me" Oh no? Then where do you think it is heading?"
Max: "Maybe Orlando, or Ghana, or Argentina"
Me: "Or Brasil, for the world cup final?"
Max: "Yes! Maybe Brasil!"

Not to mention the number of times he has correctly identified country flags...that even I could not identify!!

On Being Money Wise

While grocery shopping last week, I decided to look at buying sealed containers for cereal.

Me: "What! This container is $18?!"
Max: "What!?"
Me: "And this one is $20??? Are these people crazy?"
Max (funny, frantic): "Mommy! Don't buy it!"
