Whining Animals

It's funny when kids learn to speak and start to put words together. When kids are learning the language they start to associate rules of the language, like a guy can run, guy running is a run-ner. One day, Alex found a hook and was using it to pick up thing. He started saying things like "Look at my hook-er. The first time he said it, I wasn't sure what he was saying. Then it was "My hooker can pick this up, and my hooker can do that and ... "

"Uh Alex, it's a hook. Not a hooker. A hooker is something else."

I was reminded of this because Jared was in a restaurant today and wanted someone to blow on his face. He turned to Alex and spoke in his loud voice, "Blow me." Fortunately, the restaurant was noisy enough so I don't think anyone heard him. After a few times, we had to correct him before someone else heard him.

"Jared, you say 'Blow AT me'"

The next time he asked it came out like "Blow" pause "at" pause "me". Whew!

Just like the time Alex asked if warehouses are where werewolves lived...
