Animal sounds sometimes not so cool
David's new thing is to make animal sounds. So you say "David, what does a kitty say?" And he'll say "meow!" For doggie, he'll do a very subdued "woof" but it's cute because he bobs his head a little when he does the dog sound. For cow, the most recent addition to his repertoire, he'll go "boooo!" (I can't correct him, it's too cute.) And when I say "David, what does a chicken say?" He'll say "bwah bwah bwah bwah".

So, I'm at Trader Joe's thinking about what I want to make for dinner, and I'm talking to myself loudly enough so that David can clearly see that I'm a lunatic, but I do it in such a way where it seems like I'm talking to him, too. I go on and on about the things I see in the aisle. We get to the meat section and I say to myself, "I wonder if we should have chicken tonight." David promptly goes "bwah bwah bwah bwah", and I looked at him and said in as light a tone as possible, "That's so morbid! You can't say that when they're food!" But he sure has a sense of humor.
