United Supernova!

Me:	"What are you doing?"
Luke:	[age 8] "I'm giving Beth pushes on the swing and telling her all the different levels of swinging."
Me:	"Different levels of swinging?"
Luke:	"Yeah, you know, names for how high you are swinging. Like different levels."
Me:	"I didn't know there were levels. What are they?"
Luke:	"The first one is Knight. Then there's Baron. Then there's Princess. Then Princess Supernova, Queen, Queen Supernova, King, King Supernova, and finally United and United Supernova."
Me:	"United Supernova?"
Luke:	"Yeah, United is all the others combined together -- that's the highest level of all, except Supernova makes it even higher. United Supernova!"

Most fabulous

Beth:	[age 4] "I am the princess. I am the most fabulous one in the castle."
Me:	"But I'm the king, right? So can I be the second most fabulous?"
Beth:	"No."
Me:	"Why not?"
Beth:	"Oh, Daddy. Even though you are the king, you are still a boy. And boys can't be fabulous. Only girls are princesses, and only girls are fabulous."

Rainbow king

Beth:	[age 3] "Luke, you're the Rainbow King and I'm the Rainbow Princess. Let's fight! I'm shooting rainbow bombs up in the sky at you!" [waves hands at the sky]
Luke:	[age 7] "I'm not the Rainbow King. I'm the Fire King. I shoot balls of fire out of my hands."
Beth:	"Maybe you're the Fire Rainbow King."
Luke:	"Oh yeah! Fire that comes in different colors! I like it! Boom boom boom!" [points hands at Beth]
Beth:	"But my rainbows can beat your fire."
Luke:	"We'll see about that."
