I love you the purplest

At dinner, Juma cuddled up to me and said, "I love you, Mom." I hugged him and said I loved him too. Then Justin decided to tease a little:

Justin: I love her more than you do.

Juma: You do not!

Justin: Uh-huh. I love you four times. How many times do you love her?

Juma: Um...five times! I love her to fill the biggest ocean.

Sarah: Which is the biggest?

Juma: The Atlantic.

Sarah: No, the Pacific.

Juma: [to Justin, triumphantly] Yeah, the Pacific!

Justin: I love her as hot as the sun.

Juma: I love her...as...mushy...as...gas!

Justin & Sarah: [laugh]

Sarah: [to self] This is going on the blog.

Juma: I love her as big as a thirty year old.

Justin: I lover her as slimy as octopus juice.

Sarah: [grabs crayon and kids' menu and starts writing these down]

Justin: I love her as smelly as a skunk's bum.

Juma: I love her as smelly as jambas [Swahili for...um...really smelly things]

Everyone: [laugh]

Waitress: [brings the check]
