Conversation with a young genius
I've been amusing myself by imagining a conversation between myself and my friend MC's 1.5-year-old, whom I will call J.Wren.
Shorttina: So, J.Wren, what are you working on these days?
J.Wren: I have two very important projects--the sounds animals make and the parts of the face. I've been working to differentiate "qak qak" from "vuf vuf," but my research is still preliminary. I suspect Mommy will need to take me to the park a few more times before I can solidify my findings.
S: Wow, that sounds like pretty hard work.
J.W: Yes, and I'm on deadline to expand my vocabulary from the "oh-oh" and "this" I've been relying on. This week, I quit taking naps so I could maximize my productivity. I really want to finish up so I can move on to my summer tricycle training. Also, I'm looking forward to hammering on things.
S: Mommy will be so proud. Do you pursue any hobbies in your free time?
J.W: I enjoy putting rocks and other squiggly things from the yard into my mouth.
More to come....

As the beer commercial says, "Brilliant!"
What a cute little exchange you've written. I like her idea of maximizing time by breaking off that whole nap thing. Oh, poor shinybottlecap--she must have a cranky baby on her hands!
I'm glad you were amused! I thought it might only be funny in my dark little head...
Oh yes, I am very amused. I am passing it along to my friend Marisa.
...and I am amused as well. So *that's* why they don't nap. ;-\
