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.

Modern Day Problems

I was making Max a peanut butter sandwich to bring to a friend's house for a play date. He asked me if his friend might be allergic to peanuts. The following is the conversation they had:

Max: "Henrik, are you allergic to peanuts?"

Henrik: "No, I'm not"

Max: "That's really good"

Henrik: "I know"

On cocktail etiquette

Max, on asking me questions about a work cocktail I was at

Max: "Mommy, tell me what goes on at your work parties"

Me: "I walk up to people and say hi, I'm Alyssa, what is your name?"

Max: "And if they know you, they come closer?"

Me: "Yes."

Max: "And what else Mommy?"

Me: "And there is music playing, and food and I had a glass of wine. That's all"

Max: "It was a short party tonight"

On 21st Children

Brooklyn (holding her vtec Genius Fun): "Mommy, don't touch my laptop, agreed?"

Siblings

The kids ended up in bed with me early this morning as we all slept in one room at my dad's.

Brooklyn (groping around in the dark): "Where's Max?"

Max: "I'm right here Brooklyn. Don't worry, I'll always be with you, except when I'm at school, but that's just because you're too little right now"
