Magnus: Pee and poo!  I'm holding my bum and my weewee!

Wearing his new Timex watch:

Gina: It's time to wash hands!

Magnus: Mommy I can only wash one hand.

Positive reinforcement (because he wants to press G and B1 on the elevator and he can't reach anything else):

Magnus: Mommy, I like it when you press number 2!

Fun with me:

Kendrick: Magnus, do you want to do something fun with Daddy?

Truly excited to share:

Magnus: Mommy come and see what I made!!

Gina: What did you make?

Magnus: A big MESS!

Snarky:

Gina: OK Magnus, five minutes is up, let's go brush your teeth.

Magnus: No Mommy, five minutes is down!

Surprisingly not snarky in the delivery:

Gina: Eat your spoon!

Magnus: Mommy, did you mean spoonful?

Brain fart:

It's amazing he never complained:
