THE UNIVERSAL TELEPHONE SYNDROME
Why is it that all babies and toddlers have this universal, odd fascination and curiosity with telephones? It's just a telephone only, what!
Grace somehow ended up having the telephone coil wounded around herself. I resisted the biting urge to help her untangle out of the coiling wires, preferring her to figure it out herself. However, instead of working on the receiver, she startled me alarmingly by yanking at the telephone dial.
Today has been a great day. Apart from flashing her smile plentifully (the credit, I suspect, goes to the cup of soya milk. Kids are just so easy to bribe and win over. Sigh!), Grace is also starting to talk to me - albeit in baby language. I seriously have no idea what she's babbling. She is lost in her own world, and speaks words of her own language. Me? I'm the saint. I just play along and babble back aptly with even more senseless words. Sometimes, she replies back; to which I'll respond promptly again. At times such as this, we hold our own animated conversation in Bablish which makes sense to nobody; even to the two speakers themselves.
P.S. Ain't I smart? I got the video the right way up this time round!
