Deep Thoughts by Max. And Lucy.

A recent conversation with Lucy regarding cleaning…
Mommy: Lucy, please clean up the mess you made with the toy basket. I will help you. Should we get Charlie to help us, too?
Lucy: No. Charlie didn’t make the mess. Charlie doesn’t have teeth so he can’t make a mess.

Max and Lucy discussing her royalty status…
Lucy: Max, go get my shoes from upstairs.
Max: No. Get them yourself. You’re not the queen.
Lucy: Yes, I am the queen. Go get my shoes.
Max: Fine. (As he stomps off up the stairs to fetch the queen’s shoes.)

Max on the finer details of his Christmas list…
Mommy: Max, what pillow pet are you thinking of asking Santa for?
Max: A dragon.
Mommy: I don’t know if they make dragon pillow pets. What would your second choice be?
Max: Mommy, it’s Santa. He has elves. They can make whatever you ask for. Duh!

Max on his academic standings…
Max’s friend: Who do you have for targeted reading time?
Max: Mrs. Hess
Max’s friend: I didn’t know she had any kids for reading because she is the librarian.
Max: She only has the goodest readers. I am smart so I have her.

Max attempting to lie to Chris…
Daddy: Max, did you write on the wall?

Daddy: Max, the drawing has your name written on it.
Max: Oh.

Convincing Max to go out with us on errands…
Daddy: Max, get your shoes on. We have errands to run.
Max: I don’t want to go. Errands are boring.
Lucy: Max, it not pouring. It is boo-tiful out.
Max: I didn’t say pouring. I said boring. And, I am still not going even if it is nice out.

Spelling test studing with Max…

Max: Which one – the game or the other one?
