Max: “Do you know how to make a baby?”

Aki: “How?”

Max: “Put the pee-pee in the a-gina” [I’d already told him this maybe 6 months before]

Aki: “Uh-huh”

Max: “I’m never going to make a baby. I don’t want to do that.”

Aki: “That’s ex-gusting?”

Max: “YEAH!” (In a ‘no-duh’ voice)


“I never want to die because then I have to start school all over.”

“Maybe when I’m grown up, a scientist will make a jection [injection] so you never die.”


“Do you know that’s the best play date I ever had?” (referring to an after-ski party for all the 2nd graders at Imagination Station in Vail)


[talking about global warming, which he learned about in Mr. Lasher’s science class]

Max: “You should go skiing this year because next year there’s going to be more grass.”

Aki: “Momma said you were asking where Santa is going to live?”

Max: “Yeah because he won’t have the North Pole.”

Aki: “Did you know some islands are going to sink?”

Max: “Really? What about the Easter Bunny? Where is going to live when his island sinks? [Easter Island]”

Aki: “Maybe they can both come live with us.”

Max: “No, we don’t have enough space. They need a lot of room for the chocolate factory and the toy shop where the elves work.”


Aki: “You know what happens when you eat too much meat, right?”

Max: “Your straws get full of gunk.”  [arteries, plaque]
