The world according to Mr. Max
Yesterday, Linda posted an interview that she conducted with her son Riley. Riley and Max are just a couple of weeks apart, so I figured the answers I'd get would be just as amusing.
I cornered the little dude this morning, before we turned on the TV (he watches Special Agent Oso EVERY morning before breakfast).
What is something I always say to you?
Max: "What are you doing?"
Me: "What are you doing?"
Max: "No one. Mom, there's the car I had to open last night." (pointing at one of his toy cars)
What makes me happy?
Max: "I don't know."
What makes me sad?
Max: “I don't love you."
How do I make you laugh?
Max: “Nothing."
What do you think I was like as a child?
Max: "I don't know. Daddy's a poopy head."
How old am I?
Max: "Five."
How tall am I?
Max: “That big." (holding his arms as far apart as they go.)
What is my favorite thing to do?
Max: "I don't know. See me."
What do I do when you’re not around?
Max: "Going to work."
If I become famous, what will it be for?
Max: "Mom, can you watch the show with me, Special Agent Oso? Do you want beer when you're done telling me words?" (Note: this was at 6:30 am.)
What am I really good at?
Max: "I don't know."
What am I not really good at?
Max: “I don't know."
What is my job?
Max: "I don't know."
What is my favorite food?
Max: “Lucky Charms." (not true)
What makes you proud of me?
Max: “Going nowhere." (I think he means "staying home." He is always asking me to stay home with him all day.)
What makes me proud of you?
Max: “When i go poop.” (I knew he'd say this. EVERY time he goes, he says, "Mom, are you so proud of me??" He has been potty trained for well over a year, so I'm not sure why he is still on that kick.)
What do you and I do together?
Max: “I don't know."
How do you know that I love you?
Max: “I want you to stop saying that. Is it secrets?" (I tell him five secrets every night before bed, and one of them is always that I love him so much.)
What is one thing you wish you could change about me?
Max: “I don't want to."
What do you wish you could go and do with me?
Max: “Go to work with you. Can i Mommy? No or yes. No or yes. No or yes Mommy. No or yes.”
Me: "No."
Max: "Why? Why Mama? Why Mommy? Why Mommy? Because, because i have school??"
