The Not-So-Little Bishop Chronicles

Max's New Suit

Ruby wanted to have a fancy tea party with her friends. So she and Max needed to get dressed up. She went into Max's room and gave him a suit to put on. His phrase for this particular episode was "No suit!" Well, Ruby leaves (of course) and Max takes the suit, drops it on the floor outside his room and shuts the door. Ruby comes back and see it there and says "Oh Max!" So now Max takes the suit and hangs it outside on the clothes line. Ruby finds it because coincidentally she has to get napkins off of the line. She takes it back in. This time she helps Max put the suit on and tells him to hurry up because everyone will be there soon. Max makes this face, like he doesn't want to wear the suit and says "No suit!" So he takes it off and goes about playing in his room. Now, everyone is waiting downstairs on Max. Ruby goes up to check on him and tells him to put the suit on. He says "No suit!" and Ruby says "No suit? No cake." Max thinks about this and still has a look of disgust on his face about the suit. Ruby leaves the room and Max decides to put the suit on...but he puts it on all upside down and everything...so technically he isn't really wearing the suit. He goes downstairs and they all looked at him in shock. He says "Dress up" and then it's over. Ok...am I the only one that see how this communicates that you can disobey when you don't want to do something? I left before "Good Night Max" but I can pretty much tell you that Max is supposed to go to bed and keeps getting up and in the end, he will still not have to be obedient.
