"Do pirates sometimes get seasick?"
- Maxx, age 5

"Pillows hurt my brain."
- Maxx's answer to why he doesn't use a pillow.

"I love you and everybody that I know and everybody that I don't know."
- Maxx's response to when we are all saying that we love each other.  He's covering all the bases.

Maxx has been quite certain for some time now, that he doesn't want to be a ninja or an army man when he grows up.  Pretty sure this is because we told him that there weren't really many ninjas these days and he decided it was because they were all killed.  And when asked why he didn't want to be an army man, he asked if they get "shooted."  And when it was verified that yes, sometimes they get shot at, that sealed the deal.  In the meantime, though, he's happy to play make-believe that he is a ninja or army man and will enthusiastically pretend to shoot others or get shot (and dramatically die), himself.

For some time now, he's been pronouncing the "l" in Kyla.  He puts extra emphasis on it so it almost sounds like Kylo.

I love that with Kyla's ever expanding vocabulary and knowledge, she still says "eever" instead of "even."  I haven't yet started to correct it.

And she can never remember the name for one of her favorite meals, pot roast.  She calls it pot wurst (a mix between pot roast and bratwurst).
