On his Love of all Apple products

Max (holding two cups up to his ears): "Look Mommy; iphones!"
Me: "Um..no..actually, Max, those would be earphones.."

On telling time

Max (first thing in the morning): "Mommy did I wake up at a good time?"
Me: "Yes Max, it's 6:30"
Max: "Yay!!"
Later that morning:
Pat: "Max, what time did you wake up this morning?"
Max: "8:30"

Our Little Fire Fighter

Max (pretending to put on his fire fighting suit): "Gotta go, gotta go! There is an alarm going on, I have a fire to put out!!"
Me: "You mean there is an alarm going off?"
Max: "No, going on" (which I realize actually makes more sense...) Gotta go! Gotta go! I have lots of work to do! There might be a lot of people malade in that fire"

On Snoring

Upon Max jumping into bed with Pat and I in the morning:

Max: "Mommy, why isn't Daddy snoring?"
Me (laughing): "Because he doesn't snore every night Max"
Max: " Oh, I didn't know that"

Still not understand the phone

On the phone with Pat:

Max: "Daddy, watch this!!!!"

On Snowy Days

As I parked under the protective Tempo at the kids daycare:

Max: "What are we doing under this thing?"
Me: "It's to protect you and Brooklyn from the snow outside"
Max: "But I like the snow!"
Me: "Ok, then, its to protect Brooklyn, who is much smaller and was sick all of last week"
Max: "Oh yes, it is very hot under here"
Me: " You're a funny boy, Max.."
Max: "I want to shovel that snow"
Me: " When we get home tonight, you can do that with Daddy"
Max: "That sounds like a good idea Mommy"

On Being Charming

On seeing me dressed up to go to work for the first time in a long time:

Max: "Oh Mommy, that's beautiful what you have on there. Brooklyn too, her polka dots are beautiful"
Me (melting): "Oh Max, that is so sweet of you!"
