Maxwell’s Grammar Lesson

Some of the funnest conversations happen after the bath while I dress him, when he’s in a good mood that is. Tonight for example, he hasn’t learned how to use You and I from different perspectives –

Maxwell: (pointing to himself) I’m da boss!

I: Yeah, you’re the boss!

Maxwell: No! No! I da boss!

I: (pointing to him) Yeah, You da boss!

Maxwell: No! I (a long dragged out I) da boss!

I: (pointing to myself) I da boss!

Maxwell: NO! I da boss!

I: I da boss!

Maxwell: NO! You da boss!

I: Yay!

Maxwell: (looking thoroughly confused)

I: Silly Maxwell.

Maxwell: No silly Maxwell.
