Maximum Quotes #1

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.”

Dinner at home or Why I can’t wait for the civilized meals at “the home”

I am thrilled that Lucas loves the black bean enchiladas, but he’s 10!

Once again ecstatic with the use of an eating utensil but what about a bowl or perhaps a spoon?

Really? Sucking the Froot Loops off the table?

A face I have to love.

Sometimes I wonder if perhaps they’re being raised by wild animals. I don’t remember any direct instruction from my parents on how to eat like a human being. I just sort of absorbed it from our family meals. My boys require direct instruction, are there remedial eating classes? How do you go about finding a tutor for that? The new dinner rule:

“Eat like a human being.”

Of course with Max it sounds like “Eat like a human bean.”

It will be a long battle, perhaps I can win it before the nursing home.
