me: max, can you please pick that toy up for me?
max: sure
me: thanks, honey
max: mom, i'm not honey!  i'm just max!

i went out to the garage yesterday afternoon to grab something out of the car.  i guess emma hadn't seen me walk out the door because when i came back in, she was expecting someone else:
emma: DADDY! DAD - (then she recognized it wasn't daddy).  oh, it's just you.

apparently, daddy is way more exciting than mom.
