Maximus!!!

When I picked the kids up from school today, Max was the first one in the car. As he was climbing in he announced, "Mom, I am really sorry, but I forgot to not be disrespectful in class. I am on blue!" (They have to pull colored cards for rule infractions in class. One rule is the speak respectfully to all students and teachers.) I just laughed and laughed at the "I forgot to not..."

Last night, Hannah thought she was so clever. She challenged her dad to say "Sally shot the city sheriff" five times in a row as fast as he could. (If you know Matt, no tricks necessary to get him to say that one word... come on... you know what it is!!!) So, Matt asked her where she heard that. She indicated that the sweet boys at school in math shared it with her. Matt's reply, "See, that is why I never want you to hang out with boys!" Ok, so this is where Max comes in. "I can say it! Let me say it. I shot the shi**y sheriff. I said it. Did you hear that? I did it!" Matt: "No, Max you didn't." Max: "Yes I did it. Listen. I shot the shi**y sheriff." Matt: "No Max." Max: "I shot the shi**y sheriff. See I can do it!" Matt: "Max, you have to stop." Max: "All I said was 'pity'.
