it's in the book!

one of max's favorite things to do lately is to quote from one of his favorite stories, and then say, "it's in the book!"

yesterday's was one of my favorites. we were eating breakfast, and max bumped his knees onto the table, spilling my coffee a little. i quoted sam and the firefly by p.d. eastman, saying "that was a bad trick. bad tricks are not fun."

sam and the firefly is one of our faaaaaaavorite books. max can recite it in its entirety. when there has been a minor infraction (not quite time-out or 1,2,3 magic-style warning worthy), we tend to use the "bad tricks are not fun" line.

without missing beat, he replied:

"oh, go on home, you old hen! what to YOU know about fun?" and then quickly, "it's in the book!"
