From the mouths of babes

or, Know What's Going On Before You Speak

 This morning, I was talking with the Mrs. just before leaving for my new hire orientation session. As we were standing there, my son starts blasting away on this noisemaker he got at a party this weekend.

My wife and I both started fussing at him, saying things like "Oh, not now buddy" and "Hey, that's too loud!" and "Knock it off, it's too early for that."


He looked me right in the eyes and said "I'm just celebrating because it's the first day of Daddy's new job."

*blink*

*blink*

"Thank you dude. I appreciate that. Come here and give me a hug."

      You need to do it with a bit more gusto.

      Oh, and it has a defective reed, so you're missing the "pfffffffffffth" sound that it makes :-D
