"Max"ism

OK...so I feel kind of guilty about going on and on about my little man, Max, instead of posting something wonderful about his big sis, but he's five years old and boy, five year olds have a lot of interesting things to say about their world.

Today, while walking down the hall at school, Max's class line and my class line came upon each other. Max, of course, had to have a hug, and I, of course, couldn't resist (although I did tell him he needed to stay in line....he doesn't get it....see Mom....hug Mom). Anyhoo, a moment later I saw his wonderful kindergarten teacher cracking up laughing...tears in her eyes. Apparently, as soon as Max left the loving embrace of his mother, he felt compelled to explain the freakishly LARGE stomach his mother is sportin', "My mommy looks that way, because there's a baby in there!"

Surely after that explanation, his friends couldn't judge him or me as harshly as they were BEFORE he explained my predicament. Boy, I love that kid! :-)
