- the library book -

Today's Maxism:

 Max: "we went to the library today and I checked out a book."
Me: "sounds fun- what's the book called?"...
Max: "it's called 'Dairy of a Spider.'"
Me: "'Dairy of a Spider?' What's it about?"
Max: "Well, it's about a spider, and he does all these things, like, gets a treat from the Dairy Queen and stuff."
Me: "uh, really?"

I look at the cover.

Me: "Max, what's this booked called again?"
Max: "Dairy of a Spider."
Me (pointing): "I think this says DIARY."
Max (caught): "OK, fine... (then hopeful) Can WE go to Dairy Queen?"
