Excerpts from real conversations with Max:
Me, lifting Max into the truck: “How did you get so big?”
Max: “Mom you know when people eat food they get bigger.”
Me: “So if I stop feeding you you’ll stay little?”
Max, in an exasperated tone: “Yes.”
Random Quotes:
“Mommy I don’t want to get bigger because then I won’t fit in the house.”
“When you were a little daddy, did you play with this truck?” Asked after he told daddy that he wanted to talk to him as “Real Daddy” not “Fake Mommy.” (The explanation is a whole blog post by itself.)
“Mommy will you miss me when I go away to kindergarten? I’ll miss you.” Said through tears that broke my heart. He thinks kindergarten is only at boarding schools.
“I can’t go upstairs to the bathroom by myself, someone might kill me.”
