The True Depth of Baby Language

I drive a car better than a teenager too!

It never fails to amuse me when mommy pretends to understand what I’m saying. If I say, “Ah-goo”, she says, “Really? Then what happened.” Ok mom…“ah-goo” means “Go brush your teeth before I die from exposure to morning breath.” If I say, “Bah”, she says, “No way! Are you sure?” Well mom “bah” means “I love you,” so you better hope I’m sure! Although this “bah” must never be confused with “baaah,” (three a’s) which means “I’m’ going to projectile spit-up on your shirt…and on the dog and the couch and the floor.” Parents only THINK babies have limited vocabulary, but actually it is far more extensive than the average teenager. For example, a teenager can say, “Shut up!” and mean, “Be quiet now,” or “OMG”, or “I can’t believe that!” If I wanted to say those things, the correct terms are “Guuuuuuh,” Abbelbbbell,” and “Hhhhaaa!” in that order. See? Much more intelligent. I wonder what occurs in the brain between infancy and young adulthood that causes the brain neurons to deteriorate so alarmingly. I shall stay a baby forever so as not to go through that. Mommy gave me permission.
