more of Mr. McKay (it's about time!)

McKay and I are sitting at my parents' kitchen table. He sneezes, twice. I was spacing out and didn't acknowledge his sneezes.

McKay: "Can you say "Bless you?"'

Me (laughing): "Bless you!"

McKay: (giggles) "Thanks!"

McKay was fussing about something and won't coherently tell me what was wrong. I asked, "What's your issue?" He responded, "I have a issue, ya!"

Me: "Do you want me to scamble you an egg for breakfast?"

McKay: "No."

Me: "Do you want cereal?"

McKay: "No..... I want roast beef."

McKay: "Are you going to time out, Babu?"

McKay hands me cookie a cutter and says, "Sorry Mommy, we have to make cookies."

McKay takes a drink of water from Papa and Nama's water cooler and says, "That's tremendous!"

McKay: "Uncle Buckskin, you're great!" (Uncle Buckskin = Justin Schow)

McKay is cuddled up close to Brenan on the floor after a game of mini-stick hockey.

Me: "McKay, do you love your daddy?"

McKay looks up at me and nods.

Me: "He's a pretty cool cat."

McKay: "He's a pretty cool BOBcat!"
