What I want to be

Me: "Max, what do you want to be when you grow up?"

Max: "Guess!"

Me: "A firefighter?"

Max: "Oh no way- I don't ever want to be in a fire!"

Me: "A doctor?"

Max: "OMG no! I don't want to see blood!"

Me: "A teacher?"

Max: "And repeat the same thing over and over again? Boring!"

Me: "So what would you like to be Max?"

Max: "I want to be someone who runs all over the place"

Me: "So you want to be a professional soccer player?"

Max: "Yes!"

Me: "What country do you want to play for?"

Max: "Brazil! They are the best!"

Me: "Any other countries?"

Max: "Not France, never France; they never win"

Me: "What about Argentina?"

Max: "Yes! yes! I would play for Argentina"

On Cavities

At our annual dental appointment today, Max found out he has 2 cavities. In the waiting room after:

Max (to random woman sitting in waiting room): "I  have 2 cavities and I don't understand why because I eat fruits and vegetables"

Random woman: "That's ok, it happens to all of us. I am here for cavities. Will you tell your daddy tonight?"

Max: "No, I won't tell him tonight, we are separated right now"

On Marriage

Me: "Max are you coming into daycare to say hi to Delphine?"

Max (big sigh): "She's going to want to kiss and hug me..."

Me: "Well yes, she misses you"

Max: "Two girls want to marry me; Sophya and Delphine"

Me (laughing): "That's true honey"

Max: "I can't control that"

Me: "Max!"

Max: "What? It's true!"

On Dragons

Max's interest in dinosaurs has now been turned into an interest in dragons.

Max: "For my birthday I want dragons"

Me: "Ok; which ones?"

Max: "All of them"

Me: "And will all of the dragons play with all of the dinosaurs?"

Max (giving me a "duh!" look): "No; dinosaurs and dragons did not live in the same period"

Me: "Oh, I didn't know that. Who was first?"

 Max: "Dinosaurs Mommy, THEN dragons. Not at the same time"

Me: "Ok, got it"

Pourquoi?

Brooklyn is in that questioning EVERYTHING phase

Brooklyn: "Pourquoi xyz?"

Me: "Parce que abc"

Brooklyn: "Pourquoi?"

Me: "Parce que ..."

Brooklyn: "Pourquoi?"

Me: "Brooklyn peux-tu SVP arreter de demander Pourquoi?"

Brooklyn: "Why?"

On Being A Smarty Pants

While Max was getting changed into his pjs tonight:

Me: "Max, have you taken your underwear off yet?"

Max (doing a little wiggle dance): "Yes! Look! Can't you see my sexy bum-bum?"

Me (laughing): "Oh Max- the girls are going to love you when you are older. We always like the funny guy"

Max: "Eewww..."

Pronunciation is hard when you're 2-yrs old

Brooklyn's favorite Christmas gift is a book called "The Gruffalo" which she asks that we read to her repeatedly. It goes something like this:

Me: "What book would you like to read tonight Brooklyn?"

Brooklyn: "The Fuckalooo!!!!!"

I really need to record her saying it, the intonation and pronounciation are just too cute and funny.
