Breakfast conversation: excerpts from SPL’s favorite books

So this morning SPL was channeling some of his favorite story books.  He started off by climbing into his chair, ready for his milk and announcing "Sam I am.  Mommy I am." 

And then later:
SPL:  "Remember Leonardo the Terrible Monster mommy?  and the perfect candidate (words from the story — Leonardo, since he isn’t that great of a monster, researches the most scaredy cat kid so he’s sure to have success and "scare the tuna salad out of him")?"
KH: "Yes SPL.  Who was the perfect candidate?"
SPL: "Leonardo?"
KH:  "No, Leonardo was the monster – who was the perfect candidate?"
SPL:  "Sam! (with a triumphant smile)"

And then finally:
SPL:  "Mommy, there are 2 birds on your head (his new favorite story series: Gerald and Piggie by Mo Willems — this one is titled There is a Bird on Your Head)."
KH: "I do not want 2 birds on my head."
SPL: "Now there are 5 birds on your head (taking liberties with the storyline :-).
