Conversations with a baby - Part 3

Scene: I'm preparing Ben a breakfast of oatmeal and applesauce, while he sits in his highchair.

Ben: (whine, whine, whine)

Me: Ben, today for Second Breakfast we have a lovely selection. It features single grain rolled oats mixed with a smooth apple puree. I think you'll find it delightful.

Ben: (whine, whine, whine)

Conversations with a baby - Part 2

Ben: Ah gaa goo goo.

Me: You have a very good point.

Ben: Ah gaa goo goo!

Me: You know, maybe that is what the Palestinians should do.

Ben: Ah gaa goo goo.

The previous conversation took place while I was cleaning Ben's poopy diaper, which goes to show you that just because you're in unpleasant circumstances doesn't mean you can't have sophisticated conversation.

Conversations with a baby - Part 1

Scene: Ben and I are sitting on the living room floor. All around us are scattered the victims of Ben's less than gentle playing. Currently he is gnawing on the nose of a stuffed dog.

Me: Is the doggy delicious?

Ben: *gnaw gnaw gnaw* Awowwowwowaaaaa.

Me: Oh, really? What does the doggy taste like?

Ben: Arrwowoooo.

Me: You say it tastes like chicken? That's odd since you've never tasted chicken. It must be universal.

Aaaaaaaaaaand... scene!
