So Friday was April Fool's Day. This is the day of the year where people who are asses feel it is necessary for them to be the complete asses that they are never really able to be. Did that make sense? Let's see... blah blah blah April Fool's blah blah asses.... blah blah blah complete asses blah blah blah. Yep, makes sense to me. Anyway... this year I came through the day unscathed. On a side note, I have never heard of anyone saying that they have been "scathed." "Jim, they scathed me, they scathed me good." Nope, just does not sound right at all. Turns out that I did not really hear of anyone who was "scathed" this year. I almost think there should be a day like this for every month, then people could get their jackassiness out of their system more frequently. June Idiot's Day, September Buffoon's Day, December Nincompoop's Day, etc...
On to the meat of the matter... The little one has started speaking. Not very much, and not very often, and usually not very useful. So he has started stringing together 2 and 3 word phrases. Things like "Where Mom?" when she went upstairs. "I go, Mom" when he has his shoes on and is waiting on us to take him somewhere. "There Mim" when he sees his Mimma (Grandma). Unfortunately, he has never said anything useful. I would love it if he said, "I Hungry," or "I thirsty." But, no he tells us after we have put his shoes on him and gotten his jacket zipped up that he will be leaving with us. Thanks kid. That is very very helpful. How about you let us know why you are crying? Are you hungry? Are you thirsty? Do you need changed? That would be nice to know. I am happy that he is progressing in his verbal communication, but I just wish he were helping us out with this new verbal communication. I am fairly sure that he will say, "The sky is cerulean blue due to the sun's light refracting off of the water molecules suspended in the atmosphere," before we get a "I thirsty." out of him. He is an obstinate little fellow.

Ah, you foolish, foolish man! Did you never hear the adage: "Be careful what you wish for . . ."? Once they begin, you can never get them to stop! Mine is 11 and the boy runs his mouth from the moment he wakes until he is asleep (and sometimes even then!)
Once you teach them to communicate you will live under a non-stop barrage of verbage explaining why you are always wrong and how everyone else on the planet --from the school janitor to the guy pulling old banana peels from the dumpster down the street-- know more on any given subject than you (as a perennially brain dead parent) ever will.
I say let 'em point at what they want and keep sniffing at the pampers!
I just want the little one to say sueful things like "I hungry," "I thirsty," "Duck!" etc.... I am sure the parental bashing will come soon enough.
